Seattle neighborhood · “The Junction” to locals

West Seattle Junction

Two streetcar lines crossed at California Ave SW and Alaska a century ago, and the name never wore off. The Junction is where West Seattle runs its errands: murals of the old days on the side walls, a farmers market going strong since 1999, blocks of low storefronts that kept their scale while the city around them didn't.
