What are some beaches near Seattle? -

Hello, I live in Seattle and need to go to a beach so I can get some sand and Pacific ocean water for a friend for Christmas. I don t own a car, so I have to take the bus and I was just wondering what are some nearby beaches I could go to? Thanks!

There s Madison Park Beach, Golden Gardens Park, Loman Beach Park, Howell Beach, Madrona Beach, Magnuson Beach, and Matthews Beach.

Just to clarify, Seattle is not anywhere near the Pacific - Seattle sits on Puget Sound. The water nearby is salt water, mixed with the freshwater runoff from our local rivers.If you want to get to an actual Pacific Beach, it won t be easy without a car. I d look into what airporter services are available to get you out to the Olympic Peninsula or down to the Long Beach area.If you are content with Puget sound sand and water, then I suggest going to a place like Golden Gardens Park in Seattle (near Shilshole), or Richmond Beach. Our sand is not super white. You may not be getting quite the gift that you think you are getting.Good Luck!

You will freeze your butt off even in the dead of summer. there are no beaches. there are 2 places with sand (Alki and Golden Gardens) but the water is like icebergs and stings.

The Pacific is hours away from Seattle!If you ll settle for Puget Sound water, grab a bus to Golden Gardens in Ballard. Nice park and beach, but don t go near sunset!

Alki Point is the closest and you can probably get there on the bus. West Seattle.

Alki Beach is fun - if you go there try the fish n chips at Spuds - yum..

Try looking around the water.

seatle beach duh!!! lol

If I have to be in San Jose by 6am, when should i leave from SF? -

I have to be in San Jose (McKee Rd exit) by 6am tomorrow and i live in San Francisco. How s the traffic going to be?

I don t know what part of SF your starting from so Id say be on Hwy 101 south bound no later than 5am. I ts about 40 miles and you ll start hitting the early San Jose commute about 5:30 - 5:45. give yourself some more time if weather is bad. You can also take HWY 280 south, It will take you about 60-75 min at freeway speeds and you ll need to go north on 101 when reach San Jose, but McKee is about a 1/2 mile north from the 280 / 101 interchange. Either way, you should make Mckee just ahead of the crunch.

A lot of that will depend on where you are leaving from in SF.Once you are on the 101-- I would allow an hour. Most of the traffic will get heavy after 7. Leaving at 5 at about 70mph should be a good bet barring any unforseen things like rain or accidents. the traffic coming from that direction isn t as bad as the northbound traffic.

Just take the bus!! trust me.If driving then need to leave home at 5:00 to be safe

you should leave an hour early.
