Don Armini Ramp offers an excellent selection of sights for the adventurer: the Old Saw Mill is to the left, bottles and other treasures from the early Seattle settlement days are to the right, and plenty of marine life in between!  Use your dive flag, and watch out for boat traffic, of course.

Just South of downtown Seattle, take the West Seattle Bridge to hop over to West Seattle.  Just before the bridge ends, make a right onto Harbor Ave SW.   Drive for about a mile to the North, and you'll see the landmarks in the photos.
