Four-wheeling it on Alki Ave.

Seattle Summer Streets is a city program that opened up Alki Avenue to pedestrians and bicyclists on May 31.

Its aim is to celebrate the spirit and personality of the neighborhood and support local businesses, according to the city.

Bicycles, trikes, skateboards, wheelchairs and pedestrians took over Alki Avenue Southwest from California Way Southwest to 63rd Avenue Southwest between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The weather and automobile traffic cooperated, and many took advantage of the day.
