Puget Sound marks the western edge of Seaview, a residential neighborhood in West Seattle framed by Alki and Genesee to the north, Fairmount Park to the east and Gatewood to the south. Build a Seaview Seattle outing around neighborhood parks, a couple of local landmarks and the walkable stretch of California Avenue SW, and keep the pace easy and unhurried.
Finding Seaview on the Map
Think of West Seattle as a peninsula, and picture Seaview claiming a slice of its western shore. The water shapes one side, while established neighborhoods wrap around the rest, so you are always within easy reach of Alki to the north and the Gatewood area to the south.
Before you set out, clear up one common mix-up. Edmonds, north of Seattle, has a neighborhood called Seaview too, so add "West Seattle" whenever you search for directions or local news to make sure you land in the right place.
