There's the "secret beach" down between the Shilshole Bay Beach Club and West Marine store 6317 Seaview Ave. NW. There's a tiny strip of grass between the two parking lots that leads to the tiny beach. I suppose you could go swimming there. Here's a link with a picture: http://mylongestday.blogspot.com/2006/06/sunset-so-this-is-end.html

Discovery Park! Nice and sandy in stretches, and is usually desolate.

Matthews Beach N of Magnuson Park on Sandpoint way is a generally nice spot; not usually too crowded, right on the Burke-Gilman & reasonably sandy (albeit small) beach. Parking isn't terribly good, but there are residential areas surrounding where you can usually find a spot within a five minute walk.

Pritchard Island Beach the Parks' website calls it. Nice. And Lakewood looks awesome as well.

there's pritchard beach (rainier valley) - it's got parking, and actual sand. I also like the lake at Lakewood park in white center. No sand, but the water's hella warmer than lake washington.

Oh yeah, I've been there. The easy complaint would be that it's too far.

My sister speaks highly of Dash Point State Park in Federal Way... http://www.unearthedoutdoors.net/parks/148
