| This young daughter of a scuba diver wanted to reclaim her boulder. |   The first white settlers in Seattle came here, to Alki Beach. They didn't like it here, though, and ended up moving to Seattle, across the bay.

I think there was a race, because they all seemed to be going in the same direction. More divers as well. | Believe it or not, this is Seattle's oldest house, built around 1858.
