WEST SEATTLE | West Seattle Neighborhoods
West Seattle is credited with being the first neighborhood and community of the future city of Seattle as the Denny Party, some of the first settlers in the area arrived at Alki point and settled the nearby areas in 1851. Although Alki was the first area that had a sizable number of inhabitants from the Denny Party they didn’t stay long and moved settlements to areas better suited for long term growth in present day downtown Seattle on the other side of Elliott Bay and other parts of West Seattle. West Seattle developed slowly in the late 1800’s and the majority of the development was centered near the water where business and industry were centered.
West Seattle, in particular the area which is now the Admiral neighborhood, really started to have significant growth and development in the early 1900’s after a streetcar rail line was completed and connected West Seattle with the mainland of Seattle to the east. As the rail lines expanded and grew so did development in the areas surrounding them in the early to mid 1900’s. West Seattle continued its growth throughout the 1900’s but has always maintained its own identity and separation from Seattle in the perspective of its residents. Modern day West Seattle is known for an attractive mix of residential neighborhoods with vibrant business districts, parks interspersed throughout the area, quick access to the shores of Puget Sound and home prices which are generally lower than the core neighborhoods of central Seattle.
