Moved to "Alki Point" so it wouldn't appear as "Alki, Seattle, Washington" in the Seattle geography category; appearing as "Alki Point" in Seattle neighborhoods is OK on the model of "Haller Lake," etc. Lukobe 05:07, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The problem with that is that the neighborhood is actually called "Alki" or occasionally "Alki Beach" but never "Alki Point". The neighborhood association, all local businesses, schools, churches, the city, and the county transportation system all use "Alki" to mean the whole neighborhood. I don't get what the problem is with it appearing as "Alki" in the Seattle geography category. 98.203.160.210 (talk) 07:47, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I don't understand the phrasing in "Alki Point also marks the salle extent of Elliott Bay." Could someone explain what "salle extent" means? Googling "salle" and "salle extent" have not helped. (In fact, the only page linked in google search for "salle extent" is this one.) Thanks! timbo (talk) 21:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Too much like a tour brochure

I plan to extensively edit out the florid prose, but if anyone beats me to it I won't be sad. Much of the article is fluff about how Alki makes people feel and so forth.98.203.160.210 (talk) 07:47, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
