Blakely Rock; eagles, seals, sea life and kayaking





At high tide Blakely Rock is a boat-treacherous rock extending about 15 feet above water line. At low tide, it transforms to a small island with a spectacular view of the Seattle skyline with a gorgeous white shell beach. Low tides open up the island to exploring. The island is considered one of the best places in Puget Sound to see rocky-shore sea life and always has an abundant population of harbor seals sunning and swimming. The island's reef is home to the giant pacific octopus, which can weigh up to 150 pounds with arms as long as the length of a car.
