Fauntleroy | West Seattle

Home to the Washington State Ferries terminal, Fauntleroy is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of Seattle that lies to the east of Fauntleroy Cove. Within the area are also a creek and a park that both obtain the same name as the neighborhood in which they reside; the name Fauntleroy was originally given to the cove because a member of the U.S. Coast Survey named it after his fiance, Ellinor Fauntleroy, in 1857. On sunny days, gorgeous views of the Olympic Mountains are visible from all over Fauntleroy, which is surrounded by Gatewood to the north, White Center to the east, Arbor Heights to the southeast, and Lincoln Park on the western edge before the cove. As of the early 1980s, neighbors within the area have been brought together by the Fauntleroy Community Association, a community based organization to address local issues.
