A laid-back suburbia on Washington’s coast, West Seattle is known for its sandy beaches, community parks, and charming local businesses. The wooded streets of West Seattle offer residents a variety of modern apartment complexes and cozy single-family homes along safe, walkable streets. West Seattle is located across the Duwamish Waterway from Seattle’s bustling Industrial District. If you’re interested in traveling into Downtown Seattle or neighboring areas, hop onto the West Seattle Bridge and either Highway 99 or Interstate 5 in a short, five-mile commute.
Community parks feel somewhat endless in this tree-lined town. From Lincoln Park’s rocky coastline and hiking and biking trails to Alki Beach Park’s historic sandy shoreline, there’s much to explore in West Seattle’s great outdoors. Enjoy seafood, craft brews, and burgers at one of the many waterfront establishments along Alki Avenue, or venture over to California Avenue near the center of town for even more local businesses. Bakery Nouveau is serving up exquisite desserts while Luna Park Café is holding its own with the locals on Avalon Way.
