West Seattle is the iconic jut of land just to the South West of Downtown Seattle, giving superb views of the city landscape of Seattle across Elliott Bay and to the West, sunset views of the towering Olympic Mountains with the Puget Sound in the foreground.

Known for it's destination locations like Alki Beach and the shopping, restaurants and community activities of the "Junctions" that run along California Ave SW (Alaska, Admiral and Morgan). 

And for those of us who live here, it's Seattle's best kept secret: Neighborhoods with friendly small town feel and great walkability, yet 10 minutes from downtown Seattle and easy access to I-5 or I-90 (quick access to the Eastside or the Cascade Mountains for some outdoor fun).
