A suburban retreat in West Seattle
A leafy escape south of Downtown Seattle, Fairmount Park is a residential pocket that is in proximity to Elliott Bay. With views of the Olympic Mountains, proximity to Alaska Junction and Alki Beach, Fairmount Park is a sough-after West Seattle neighborhood with reputable schools and peaceful homes. “West Seattle is a peninsula surrounded by the waters, and this makes it one of the shining gems in Seattle real estate,” says Bill Reid, a broker at Windermere who is a lifelong Seattle resident and has been servicing the greater Seattle area for over 40 years. “Fairmount Park is a great destination neighborhood that’s close to the Alaska Junction, and access into the city is also extremely convenient.”
