By ferry

The 1 Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal at the southern end of West Seattle, south of Lincoln Park, offers frequent service to Southworth and Vashon Island.

當地交通

More so than the rest of the city, a car will prove useful. Bus service is merely adequate; the lower density of the area and frequent traffic jams on the few bridges in and out lead to widely scattered routes on unpredictable schedules. Travel between Alaska and Admiral Junctions and downtown is never a problem, but there's no single bus route that runs the length of California Avenue. Trips to the outer reaches of the area will require some advance planning. Locals often refer to areas in relation to their 'junction' with California Ave SW, the main north/south arterial through West Seattle. Restaurants, bars and shops tend to be focused around 3 main junctions.

Admiral Junction is to the north in the Admiral District. Alaska Junction is near the center of West Seattle. It has the highest concentration of shops and is often referred to simply as 'The Junction'. Fauntleroy Junction (or 'Morgan Junction') is further south, where Fauntleroy Way SW crosses California Ave SW. Bicycle lanes exist, but the terrain is often hilly and steep. The exception is the north shore of West Seattle along Alki, with its long perfectly-flat multi-use trail that is amazingly popular in the summer.
