Parking adjustments coming to West Seattle's Alki Beach
WEST SEATTLE - Some changes are coming to parking along West Seattle's Alki Beach, aimed at addressing recent public safety concerns and an increased demand this summer.
The adjustments include limiting parking spaces in some areas, and opening up more spots during the day.
What's next:
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) proposed to re-establish daytime on-street parking on the west side of Alki Avenue Southwest, near Alki Beach Park.
Changes could be installed in the summer of 2025.
Additionally, angled parking along Duwamish Head, near Don Armeni Park, will be converted to parallel parking. This change was made to deter reported issues in the area, such as loitering and illegal activities.
Existing overnight restrictions will remain in place from 11 pm. to 5 a.m.
Timeline:
The Duwamish Head parking adjustment is expected to be completed by mid-June, according to SDOT.
The Alki Avenue SW proposal is still being finalized, with community outreach planned later in the summer. SDOT says it will address questions and take feedback before implementing a design.
A short survey on the Alki Avenue SW parking changes is also available online, and closes June 22, 2025.
SDOT says these parking adjustments are being made at the request of Seattle City Councilmember Rob Saka, aimed at increasing public safety and improving parking availability in the area.
