Beach view to the east from Alki Natatorium, circa 1905
Order an ImageIn 1905, the Alki Point Transportation Company opened the Alki Natatorium in West Seattle. Visitors could swim in the heated waters of the 130-foot long swimming pool or go to Saturday night dances in the adjacent pavilion. From the porch of the pavilion, visitors could see a wide view of Puget Sound.
This 1905 photo shows a quiet view to the east from the porch of the privately-owned Alki Natatorium in West Seattle. Driftwood covers the upper beach. A small steamer has landed at the dock in the distance. The Seattle Parks Department acquired this waterfront property in 1910.
