The map · West Seattle

Walk first. Then wander further.

The house sits in the Alaska Junction, so the places you can walk to come first. Pick a pin or a name to see where it sits.

Old growth, a short drive away.

Out back, at the house

Soak in the four-seat Softub, open the motorized louvered pergola to the stars and light the fire pit. Each adult signs a quick online waiver before the first soak. Quiet hours start at 9 PM.

Arriving by car

Ten minutes from downtown. A world away from it.

Pull into the driveway and let the car rest. Here's what's close when you need it.

Room for two carsThe driveway fits 2 cars, with street parking too.
Charge on siteA Tesla (NACS) charger, right at the house.
Groceries nearbyPCC Community Markets is a few minutes away.
Trail dogs welcomeUp to two pets, dogs or cats ($80 pet cleaning fee per stay), with an outdoor dog-wash station for muddy paws. Seattle keeps dogs off public beaches, so try the paved Alki Trail on a leash.
