Fun Facts

Alki Homestead, originally known as the Fir Lodge, was built in 1904 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2009, a fire severely damaged the building, leading to extensive restoration efforts to preserve its historical significance.

Before its closure due to the fire, Alki Homestead was a popular restaurant known for its fried chicken dinners.

The building is an example of the American Craftsman style, characterized by its rustic log cabin appearance.

The building was originally a summer home for the Bernard family, who were among Seattle's early settlers.
