Neighborhood

True to its name, Junction is named after the historic intersection of Alaska Street and California Avenue, which is home to the All Way Walk signal, the only intersection in Seattle where pedestrians can walk in every direction across the street. Junction is also known as West Seattle’s downtown district. This eclectic neighborhood is filled with art galleries, coffee shops, quirky shops, and longstanding establishments like the Husky Deli, which has been selling groceries and ice cream since the 1930s.

As the heart of West Seattle, Junction hosts most of the area’s special events including art walks, outdoor movie nights, and seasonal festivals like Summer Fest, a three-day street festival. Along with plenty of amenities and events, residents appreciate living near several excellent parks and beaches like Alki Beach Park and Me-Kwa-Mooks Park, which overlooks the Puget Sound.

School data provided by GreatSchools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
