Sea Glass - Alki Beach, West Seattle, Washington

Sea Glass - Alki Beach, West Seattle, Washington.

Alki Beach has been a major party beach in the Seattle area for more than 50 years. As a result there is lots of glass to be found here but it is mostly of the green brown and clear (frosted) varieties. You will occasionally find green/blues from broken electrical insulators or other "industrial" trash.

Parking is plentiful and free along the waterfront and there are numerous places to eat or wet your whistle before, during or after your search.

How would you rate this beach for sea glass?: Fair (3-5 jewelry grade pcs. found per hour)

------------------
Thanks, Pete

Note that it does get sunny and beautiful...but it is also great when it's like this. You know the rewards: a small cafe, Seattle espresso, bagels with cream cheese....

 HOOKED at Alki Beach and Homer, Alaska
by: hvz

It was on Alki beach that I discovered sea glass. What a revelation! I could walk in that beautiful place and pick up beautiful little pieces of glass that the ocean had worked into these small enchanting pieces of glass that came from who knows where.

I have been hooked ever since.

I, last summer, walked the beach in Homer Alaska every day for three weeks and found some great treasures, one being a beautiful red piece.

I will be there for two months this summer and I will spend most of my time looking for sea glass again. I am HOOKED.
