Dining
West Seattle is home to a wide variety of dining options, whether you’re on the search for a lowkey dive bar or an extra-special date night dinner. You’ll find the most restaurants, bars, and coffee shops along California Ave and Alki Beach. A few neighborhood favorites include Il Nido (high-end Italian), Luna Park Cafe (retro diner vibes with classic American fare), and Harry Beach House (PNW seafood with a trendy atmosphere). And that’s only the beginning!
Commuting
West Seattle offers quick access to Highway 99 and Interstate-5 via the West Seattle Bridge. SODO, Pioneer Square, and Downtown Seattle are especially easy to get to. You’ll also find plenty of buses including the RapidRide, and the Link Light Rail is coming to West Seattle! The West Seattle Water Taxi will take you straight into Downtown Seattle so you can skip the bridge, and another ferry makes it easy to hop over to Vashon Island or Southworth (close to Port Orchard and Bremerton).
