About

Gatewood

Gatewood, located between California Avenue SW and Fauntleroy Way SW, is a residential and hillside Seattle neighborhood with Puget Sound viewpoints and a patchwork of pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the California Ave SW & SW Myrtle St junction, where a compact strip of cafes, bakeries, and small storefronts sets a steady, walkable rhythm. The original Husky Deli anchors daily routines with old-school counters and local staples. Nearby, the Admiral Theater adds a marquee-lit cultural note, while the West Seattle Farmers Market brings a weekly street-level pulse. Streets of Craftsman bungalows and mid-century homes step down toward the water, and Lincoln Park’s forested trails and shorelines frame the outdoor tempo.
