Little Kids, Big City
Although we've lived in West Seattle for several years, it wasn't until last summer that I got into the Water Taxi Habit. We live just far enough from the Seacrest dock that it never seemed to be anything more than a bus alternative, but once I actually rode the thing, I realized that speed is not the point of getting on the little boat.

Heidi Fish bends down and takes a yellow bikini out of a container at her feet. The turquoise one-piece bathing suit and matching visor she wears glisten.
She weaves a hanger through the bikini and hooks it to one of the metal fixtures she has just finished setting up on the sidewalk across the street from the beach. "I specialize in large-busted women," Fish says of her swimsuit line, which she sells on sunny days from this makeshift booth. "They all find me. I think it's 'cause I do custom."
Welcome to Alki Beach.
