A crowd estimated to be in the thousands and certainly the largest ever came to Alki Beach on New Years morning 2024 for the annual polar plunge

With air temperatures in the 30’s the water at 50 degrees was warmer. 

Organized by Mark Ufkes the people were in good spirits.

For some a portable sauna from PNW Mobile Spa was available while other chose to dance to the silent disco and others did exercises.

Future Primitive Brewing and Fire Taco took advantage of the event, opening early.

Many lingered after the plunge taking in the beginning of a happy new year.
