After the coldest April on record, the mercury hitting the mid 60's was enough to cause Alki to resemble an anthill as people finally feeling some warmth swarmed the beach on May Day, Sunday May 1.
People came out on bikes, motocycles and on foot to bask in the rays of the golden orb that has seemingly been in hiding for a few months. The traffic was moving very slowly on Alki Avenue, music pouring from cars and players on the beach.
