I was lucky to grow up at Alki when the avenue was lined with mostly old beach cabins and just a couple apartment buildings. My parents bought a tri-plex across the street from the beach in the 1970’s that my Dad still owns today. Not a month goes by that he doesn’t get at least a couple letters from investors wanting to buy the place. He’s not interested in selling. He provides 3 fairly priced rental units for his long term tenants who get to enjoy some of the Northwest’s best views. The fabric of Alki has changed but the allure of living at the beach is exactly the same!
