If your Alki summer already has a rhythm to it, you don't need another list of sunset walks and volleyball nets. What's worth your attention this year is smaller and closer to the sidewalk: a handful of storefronts turning over, a new way to get on the water from Seacrest, a park curfew that shifts what a Tuesday night looks like, and one landmark quietly closed for reasons most neighbors haven't heard about. The postcard version of Alki is unchanged. The everyday version is being rewritten in pieces.
The storefronts along Alki Ave are turning over
The most tangible change this summer is on the strip itself.
