Please note: we have decided to postpone our main wedding ceremony at Salty's on Alki until July 24, 2022. We held a small socially-distant and live streamed ceremony with our local friends and family on July 25th of 2020.
Join us for a seafood-inspired brunch buffet after a ceremony on the patio of Salty's on Alki (A). We picked it because you just cannot beat this view of the city or eat food that better represents it.
Salty's has great parking if you're driving, but please be aware the West Seattle Bridge will be closed for repairs. You can also take the West Seattle water taxi (C) , which docks about a third of a mile from the restaurant. This is a passenger-only ferry, so you'll need to park at the Seattle waterfront near downtown.
On Saturday the 23rd, we invite you to visit our home in Mountlake Terrace starting at 1:00PM for an open house with tons of games and food.
For those visiting Seattle, we'd like to recommend a few of our favorite spots:
Hamilton Viewpoint (B) is the very best view of the city and surrounding mountains you can get without being on a boat. It's especially perfect around or after sunset. You only need a few minutes, but it's worth the journey if you have some time. Also check out some West Seattle restaurants like Cactus, Ma'ono, or Seattle Fish Company while you're in the neighborhood.
The waterfront and Pike Place (C) is classic Seattle. Get your coffee at Seattle Coffee Works outside of the market before braving those crowds (and laugh at the line outside the original Starbucks that serves the same coffee as every one of their other stores). There's an awesome magic shop downstairs at the market and amazing handmade creations toward the south end and on the newly added exterior patio. The West Seattle water taxi is just west of here at terminal 50.
Kerry Park (D) is an iconic local viewpoint (so much so that Ila has a tattoo of it on her shoulder). It's usually crowded but worth a stop, especially if you can find a good parking spot (try past the park, or plan your visit for mid-morning) and walk up to Molly Moon's ice cream after.
Discovery Park (E) was a go-to running spot for us when we lived in Belltown. It feels so far away from the city and offers awesome walking and running trails along the beach and above the rocky bluffs of Magnolia. Our friends Mike and Jess even got engaged and married here! Eat at Red Mill burgers on your way out. Seriously the best in Seattle.
