Here, in the Fairmount Park neighborhood of coveted West Seattle, you’re just three miles from sinking your feet into the sand of Alki Beach Park and seven miles from standing at the tip of the Needle. Daily commutes to downtown are a straight shot across the bridge. Speaking of shots, you’ll quickly memorize the shortest of short routes to the local caffeinated goodness of C & P Coffee Company, the retro nightlife of Skylark, and countless other gems that lay steps from your door. With five parks and two shopping centers within two miles, outings of all kinds are easy—and that includes vibrant West Seattle Junction, loaded with treats and eats, one-of-a-kind discoveries, and buzzy events like Summer Fest. And Avala looks just as good when you judge by the numbers, serving up a walk score of 78.
