It keeps people away from the tunnel traffic along that road. It's still a work in progress with many developments planned in the future. There's still a lot of construction near Belltown as of June 2025. We stayed in a hotel near the park. It's super close to Pier 66. The park currently connects Pioneer Square with Pier 62, and has great views of Elliott Bay. We took the elevator up to the Overlook Walk so that we could gain access to Pike Place Market. There are also stairs that take you there from each side of the walkway. I don't remember it being this easy back in 2011. Heck, I don't even remember seeing the ferris wheel at Pier 57. When did that happen? It's a large and beautiful greenspace that's perfect for locals & tourists alike. We kind of lost our bearings for a bit, but then it became all clear that we were headed the right way to the market. I really like what they have done here. It will be cool to see it again once it's all done, and there's no more construction. It was a nice walk along the bay.

The honey and I nabbed a log and enjoyed the ferry coming in while we ate our general porpoise. The beach has sand, but it's fairly light with much of the space made up of rocks with quite a bit of driftwood. All in all a pretty sweet place to decompress before getting on the ferry.

Plan accordingly. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ Outdoor adventures keeps the guided groups small (maximum 12 people). I appreciate the small groups since this was my first time kayaking. Three types of kayaks are available: single, double or triple occupancy. Discover is an accepted form of payment. A Discover Pass is required to park at Spencer Spit. If you do not have a pass, a $10 day pass can be purchased with cash or check. There were several rangers checking passes on our visit so be sure to have a pass visibly displayed to avoid being ticketed. WHAT TO BRING - Signed Release of Liability - Bathing suit or non-cotton under layers preferred - A synthetic shirt (capilene, polypro, Under Armor, etc) - Shorts or pants made of a synthetic material (may get wet/damp) - Lightweight fleece jacket or windbreaker/rain jacket to provide warmth - Water shoes or sandals that strap on (or shoes that can get wet) - Sun hat and/or sunglasses - Sunscreen and chapstick - Water bottle - Optional; Camera, Plastic bag for wet items and change of clothing - If you have a gift certificate or prepaid voucher (such as Groupon) please bring a printed copy with you! Dorito Dan was our guide for the day. Dan was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The first hour is dedicated to introductions, procedures and safety. Be sure to use the restroom before departing. Once on the water, there is no turning back. Kayaking is great for teamwork and communication. Both are required to avoid frustration. I recommend wearing weight-lifting/bicycle gloves in order to prevent blisters. Each person in our group started getting blisters towards the end of the tour. During our 3 mile kayaking trip, we spotted starfish, seals and majestic bald eagles. Thank you Outdoor Adventures for providing a magnificent day of play while surrounded by gorgeous Mother Nature. We all plan to return in the near future for another go-around.

I was able to stand up after about an hour, and I was instantly hooked. Super fun, and totally worth the money. It felt a little expensive at first but the lessons saved me so much time and frustration. Also I now have a bit of a blueprint for how to teach my friends. I'd totally recommend these guys for anyone curious about the sport.

I booked an eFoil lesson with Brett at Urban Surf as a birthday gift to myself, and it exceeded my…read moreexpectations. Going into the lesson, I had zero experience on a foil board and wasn't sure what to expect. Brett did a fantastic job breaking everything down into manageable steps, making the learning process feel approachable and unintimidating. Within 30 mins, Brett had me up and surfing & foiling. What I appreciated most was Brett's coaching style. He was patient, positive, and focused on helping me build confidence rather than rushing through the lesson. He provided helpful feedback throughout, celebrated the small wins, and made the entire experience enjoyable. I'd also been researching eFoils for months and arrived with plenty of questions. Brett was incredibly generous with his knowledge and took the time to answer everything without ever making me feel rushed. If you're thinking about trying eFoiling, Urban Surf is a great place to start. Brett is an excellent instructor, and I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for their first lesson or wanting to improve their skills.
