About West Seattle
West Seattle is a peninsula community connected to the rest of the city by the West Seattle Bridge — a geography that gives it a slightly separate, neighborly feel. The Alaska Junction is the commercial heart, with independent shops, the Farmers Market, and walkable streets feeding into single-family neighborhoods on the hills above.
The housing mix runs from view homes on the north and west bluffs to mid-century ranches and remodeled Craftsman bungalows on flat interior lots. Families consistently rate West Seattle highly for its parks, beaches at Alki and Lincoln Park, and tight community feel.
