 West
Seattle, a hilly district in Seattle, Washington,
encompasses all of Seattle west of the Duwamish River. Among the area's
attractions are its saltwater beach parks along Elliott Bay and Puget Sound,
including Alki Beach and Lincoln Park among others. The area is also prized for
its magnificent views of the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Cascade Range
to the east.
West Seattle's residential neighborhoods are
varied and distinctive. All offer fine schools, great shopping, green parks and
open spaces, easy access to libraries and views of snowcapped mountains and
shining waterways that are simply spectacular by any standard.
Some of our most visited neighborhoods:
ADMIRAL – The Admiral neighborhood lies on the northern bluff of the West
Seattle peninsula It is rich in views and lovely,
old homes and maintains a lively restaurant trade plus The Admiral movie theater
– a fun, retro experience with nautical décor.
Admiral’s small, thriving commercial district has a good mix of businesses
including a choice of large grocery stores. The Hiawatha Community Center and
West Seattle Library are located here. Schmitz Park – 53 acres of never-cut
forest – is in Admiral.
 Alki
Beach Seattle – Noted historically as the landing place of the pioneers,
Alki is a beachfront community offering unparalleled views of the Seattle
skyline, Elliott Bay and Puget Sound.
Alki offers visitors and residents the opportunity for great dining year round.
Sports enthusiasts use the Alki Beach Park
area for SCUBA diving, rollerblading, cycling, volleyball, and more. Dog walkers
delight in parading their pups on Alki. The Alki Bathhouse is a community art
studio.

DELRIDGE – Delridge is as it sounds – a valley and a ridge – extending to the
east along the length of the peninsula. In the valley is beautiful Longfellow
Creek , lovingly restored to biological health, with a walking trail alongside.
Longfellow runs through the 18 hole, championship West Seattle Golf Course . The
ridge has great territorial views of West Seattle, the Duwamish River, South
Seattle, and the Cascade Mountains.
FAUNTLEROY – On the west side of the peninsula, Fauntleroy is a hillside
community with fabulous views of Puget Sound and nearby Vashon Island. The
Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal is the eastern terminus of a Washington State Ferry
line that goes between the islands and West Seattle.
WEST SEATTLE JUNCTION – “The Junction” is where two old streetcar lines once
crossed, and is home to a Main Street shopping district that is packed with
restaurants and small specialty stores that are destination shops for the rest
of the city. Surrounded by single family homes and a fast-growing number of
condos, the Junction is one of West Seattle’s liveliest neighborhoods, located
right in the heart of West Seattle.
Built atop a hill, even this shopping area has views of Puget Sound and the
Olympics in the distance. In mid-summer, the West Seattle Junction Merchants
Association hosts the West Seattle Street Festival . |
