Alaska Junction | West Seattle

In April 1907 two streetcar lines connected SW Alaska Street to California Avenue SW, creating  "the Junction" of West Seattle. Alaska Junction quickly grew into a prosperous business district consisting of physician offices, grocery stores, lumber companies and hardware stores. To this day the district still thrives, now offering residents and visitors the best shopping, dining, and services in West Seattle. Shopping ranges from trendy clothing boutiques to funky record stores, toy stores and pet stores. Real estate offices, tech services, and art galleries also populate California Avenue with a variety of dining options from brew pubs to pizza, sushi, cafes and bakeries, teriyaki, and fine dining.
