Alki Water Taxi Dock

Dock Fouling Adventure. West Seattle, Washington

DEFUNCT! The portion of this dock that was suitable for dock fouling has been removed. You can still catch glimpses of cool creatures off the side but they are highly inaccessible. 

The three floating docks at Alki's water taxi terminal are more than enough to satisfy the urban dock-fouler. Expect to enjoy some relative solitude among the recreators at Alki. Apart from the rare boat coming or going not many people come to this small portion of the pier. 

​

There are plenty of organisms living directly underneath the docks. If you are careful you may pull up long strands of seaweed that are the homes to numerous critters! 

​

A few hundred feet away is a restaurant and public toilets, making this the perfect location for your dock fouling marathon. This spot is perfect for downtown dwellers- simply take the water taxi across and walk for thirty seconds.

LOCATION

Park for free in the lot or on the street. Better yet, take the water taxi from downtown and arrive directly at your destination. Walk down the ramp towards the water taxi terminal. Hang a right just as you hit the bottom. There are three small floating docks here that you can easily spend an hour or two examining. Check the water taxi time table in advance to avoid peak traffic times.
