It was on the windswept shores of what is now Alki Beach that Seattle’s pioneers first built a community. The area’s early settlers, led by Arthur Denny, came from the state of Illinois, in the American Midwest, seeking a better life. After one blustery winter on Alki (pronounced Al-kai, rhymes with ‘pie’), however, most of the Denny party moved away from the beach’s winds to the shelter and deeper anchorage of Elliott Bay.
That exodus seems surprising given Alki’s current popularity. In summer, the sandy beach is a mass of tanned bodies, and year-round, the footpath and its adjacent bike-and-skating path are crowded with promenading, strutting, jogging people.
