One of my mom’s work colleagues and his wife have a beautiful home overlooking the sound on Alki beach.  They invited us over to witness one of the lowest tides of the year that happened to occur just after noon on the 4th of July.  Even better, they are less than a couple of hundred yards down the beach from the ferry terminal/pier where tons of sea life is exposed when the tide goes out. 

Here are a bunch of shots I took during the afternoon and more if you click here or on the pictures below. 

the starfish were everywhere!

6+ starfish on this one piling alone!

Cool looking starfish

These mussels were attached to a ladder that is completely submerged when the tide is in

I love it when Erin’s freckles come out in the Summertime
