Continuing west on Seaview NW, you will pass several popular seafood restaurants such as Ray's and Anthony's Home Port before reaching Shilshole Marina. The embankment features a statue of Leif Erickson, installed in 1962. The Port of Seattle built the present pleasure boat moorage and center in 1963. The breakwater teems with marine life, including giant Pacific Octopus and sea lions, and attracts many scuba divers.
