about Elliott Bay Water Taxi and Metro Shuttle:

Want to visit Alki Beach during the summer without the traffic hassle? Hop onto a water taxi for the twelve-minute ride between the downtown Seattle waterfront and Seacrest Park in West Seattle. The water taxi operates on a year-to-year basis (due to funding issues) during the summer. During peak hours on weekdays, and all day Saturdays and holidays, Metro Transit operates a free shuttle service in West Seattle. Route 773 serves Alki and Harbor Avenues in both directions, between Alki Beach, 35th Avenue SW and SW Avalon Way, and SW Alaska Street and the West Seattle Junction. Operation of the water taxi might be suspended during adverse weather conditions; call for a recorded update of the service's status. Check the website for the daily schedule.
