Charles Richey Sr Viewpoint — Attraction in Seattle

Thankfully I take my lunches at this area. Many wonderful things seperate this from the busy side of Alki. You will not be able to find a better tidal area in Seattle. This is a must go place for people with children as when the tide is out the adventure begins. You can see a plethora of different wildlife ranging from Harbor Seals, Osprey and the occasional Orca Pod off in the distance to small green crabs and sea anemone in the tidal pools. With sunsets with the Olympias to the peaking Mt. Rainier from the South its best to check the tidal charts and take a look. You never know what you will find.

Also, if you are visiting during the brisk windy Winter months. Do not pass this location up as the waves will slam against the seawall and put on a fun water show...that you can...

Great spot to pull off and chill out at if you need a break from the hustle and bustles going on around the corner. Or if you need to view the Southwest skies for something like moon rises or sunsets and stuff this is good place. Or if tide pools are your thing then this might be your favorite place during those extra low tides.

I've never had problems parking on-site but just like the rest of Alki, the busier it is the further away you'll have to park from where you'd actually...

I love this place! It is a bit crowded and driving on this road is a slow process. Which works great as you can check out the views out west! On a clear day, you can even see Rainier in the south! I visit this park often and was taken aback when I realized that you can see Rainier from here. Apart from that, the place is usually crowded. You don’t get to see the Seattle skyline. Just miles of water and the mountains and land beyond. But it is serene...
