Somewhat walkable, driving is common, and public transit is popular

Parts of North Delridge are walkable or bikeable, though many people drive or take public transportation. King County Metro buses run on several routes, including the RapidRide C and H lines. A commute downtown by bus takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic.

Many are anticipating the arrival of light rail through the West Seattle Link Expansion, with construction to begin in 2027, and a station expected to open by 2032. The Seattle Department of Transportation plans to add at least 10 blocks of sidewalk in North Delridge by 2029.

Delridge Way, running north/south, is one of the main roads; state Route 99 and Interstate 5 are both within a mile of the West Seattle Bridge. Some commuters cross Elliott Bay on the King County Water Taxi. The water taxi embarks from Seacrest Dock, which is several miles away in North Admiral, and accessible by bus. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, known as Sea-Tac, is about 12 miles south of North Delridge.

The Junction, a couple of miles west, has shops and nightlife

For more variety, you can head a couple of miles west to the Junction. "It's a really popular destination for going out at night," Kluetz says. Also known as the West Seattle Junction or the Alaska Junction, it's a neighborhood full of locally owned shops. California Avenue has Easy Street Records & Cafe, Pegasus Book Exchange and the Antique Mall of West Seattle. The Junction is also home to the West Seattle Farmers Market, held on Sunday mornings. Kluetz says people from outside West Seattle may travel to the market since it's open year round.
