A small 10 minute hiking trail across the street. Great way to start off your day, plus you can tell everyone that you hiked in Seattle.
To get here, cross the street to the side walk and then go right. There should be a wide opening to a gravel trail. This isn't the path immediately across the street.

Great beach area to lounge around, kayak, or bike. Feels like you've left Seattle to go to a beach resort, but don't plan on swimming here unless you enjoy swimming in very cold water! Also has great views of the Olympic mountains.

A water taxi that goes from the coast of West Seattle to downtown Seattle. A cheap way to enjoy a boat ride on the Puget Sound and get a great view of downtown Seattle.

My favorite public karaoke bar in all of Seattle! Crowd is never too large so you can get a lot of songs in. Just a good time overall. Call to ask when karaoke is since hours may vary due to COVID.

No, this isn't the band featuring such hit singles as "Numb" and "In the End". But it is a neat park along the coast with hiking and biking trails.

Food in West Seattle
Food that is too far away to walk to but still close by. My personal faves.
Great Korean Hawaiian fusion food, but the main attraction is the great view of downtown Seattle you can see from there (some people will claim other places have the best view of Seattle but I'll claim that this is the best view of Seattle).
The West Seattle water taxi stop is here which will take you to downtown Seattle (no cars allowed though).

Grocery Stores Not Local to Seattle
For some reason, they thought it'd be a good idea to put four grocery stores within a few blocks of each other - all located conveniently in the Junction. So if you can't find something, you can always hop on over to another grocery store close by.
