Elliott Bay

Elliott Bay is the Puget Sound inlet that frames Seattle's central waterfront, extending between West Point and Alki Point and shaping the city's maritime setting.

Elliott Bay

Why go

Elliott Bay is worth understanding because it links Seattle's waterfront sights to the wider geography of Puget Sound. Seattle was founded on this body of water in the 1850s, after Duwamish communities had long lived around the bay and river. Its piers, headlands and waterfront districts make the bay the organizing feature of many central-city views.

What to look for
