Richmond Beach Saltwater Park is a lovely mile-long beach along the Puget Sound shoreline, accessible via a moderately-steep pathway from Seattle's 190th Street.
The beach area, which was referred to as q'q'e'waidet for its populations of tobbaco-like plants by the region's Coast Salish indigenous people prior to the arrival of white settlers, offers beautiful views of the nearby Olympic Mountains and is perfect for stretching out and relaxing while waves lap the shoreline.
A 10-foot sculpture at the beach depicts a Coast Salish indigenous man and woman welcoming visitors to the beach, while a sundial post names the peaks of the Olympics visible in the distance.
Scattered driftwood logs along the beach make for great places to sit and relax.
An off-leash dog area is offered at the beach, along with a children's playground and reservable picnic facilities.
