North Admiral, Seattle, Washington

North Admiral, Seattle, Washington

North Admiral (or simply the Admiral District) is the oldest neighborhood in West Seattle, Washington. In the early 1900s it was connected to Seattle by ferries and a cable car. It is the location of West Seattle High School. The neighborhood name implies that it is at the north end of Admiral Way S.W. However Admiral runs east and west and crosses California Avenue S.W. north of the major junction at S.W. Alaska street and California, thus the name "North Admiral" combines the orientation to the junction with the name of the main cross street.
