West Seattle Farmers Market: A Sunday Tradition

Every Sunday | 10 AM–2 PM
California Avenue SW and SW Alaska Street, Alaska Junction
Open year-round, rain or shine

A Sunday in West Seattle is not complete without a visit to the West Seattle Farmers Market. The market brings together local farms, fresh seasonal produce, flowers, baked goods, specialty foods, and the friendly neighborhood energy that makes The Junction feel like the heart of West Seattle.

Bring a reusable bag, bring your appetite, and give yourself a little extra time. A quick market run has a way of becoming a full Sunday outing—especially when you start chatting with vendors, run into neighbors, or discover a new local favorite.

For anyone getting to know West Seattle, the Farmers Market is one of the best introductions to the neighborhood. It showcases the community’s support for local makers, Washington farms, small businesses, and the walkable Alaska Junction lifestyle.

Lady Jaye Pop-Up: Come Early for Special Treats

The Sunday market is even better with a stop at the Lady Jaye pop-up. It is a great place to pick up special treats, but do not wait too long, popular items tend to go quickly.

Grab something sweet, enjoy a coffee, browse the market, and then take a walk through The Junction. It is a simple but very West Seattle kind of Sunday: relaxed, delicious, and full of small local discoveries.

The Thai Sausage Breakfast Sandwich: Jonn McYnturff Approved

Here is your official Farmers Market pro tip: come hungry and try the Thai sausage breakfast sandwich from Nature's Last Stand.

This is not your usual breakfast sandwich. You get eggs, handmade spicy Thai sausage, and a seriously memorable combination of flavors. Where else are you going to find a Thai sausage breakfast sandwich while shopping for flowers, produce, and pastries on a Sunday morning?

It is flavorful, unexpected, and exceptional (officially Jonn McYnturff approved).

West Seattle Sweet Stroll

Thursday, September 10 | 5–8 PM
The Junction, West Seattle
Tickets: $25

The West Seattle Sweet Stroll is a delicious reason to spend an evening in The Junction. Participants can explore the neighborhood while enjoying dessert samples from four local favorites.

This is a perfect plan for a date night, a relaxed outing with friends, or anyone who wants to experience West Seattle’s locally owned businesses in a fun and flavorful way. Between dessert stops, browse the shops, visit a favorite restaurant, and enjoy the evening energy in the Alaska Junction.

The Sweet Stroll is exactly the kind of event that makes West Seattle memorable: easy to walk, full of friendly faces, and centered on the independent businesses that give the neighborhood its personality.

West Seattle Art Walk

Thursday, September 10 | 5–8 PM
Participating West Seattle businesses

The West Seattle Art Walk is a free evening celebrating local artists, original artwork, and the businesses that help make the neighborhood creative and connected.

Explore artwork, meet featured artists, and visit participating locations throughout West Seattle. It is an easy way to turn a normal Thursday evening into something more interesting.  Start with a meal in The Junction, visit businesses displaying art, and make a night of it.

The Art Walk also offers a great look at the community behind the neighborhood. West Seattle residents consistently support local artists, shops, restaurants, and service businesses, creating a sense of place that goes well beyond a typical commercial district.

Stop by John L. Scott During the Art Walk

The John L. Scott West Seattle office (4445 California Ave SW) is proud to participate in the West Seattle Art Walk. Located right in the Alaska Junction, the office is an easy stop while you are enjoying local art, visiting shops, and exploring the neighborhood.

Please stop in, say hello, and enjoy being part of an evening that celebrates the artists, small businesses, and creative energy that make West Seattle a great place to live.

Fall West Seattle Wine Walk

Friday, September 18 | 5–9 PM
The Junction, West Seattle
Ages 21+; tickets required

The Fall West Seattle Wine Walk is one of the most fun ways to experience The Junction. Participants can sample Pacific Northwest wines while exploring local businesses throughout the neighborhood.

It is a great Friday-night plan for couples, friends, wine enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a relaxed way to kick off the weekend. You can walk between tasting locations, discover new shops, enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere, and make an evening of it without needing a complicated itinerary.

The Wine Walk is also a strong example of why the Alaska Junction is such a desirable part of West Seattle. It is active, convenient, locally focused, and full of opportunities to connect with the people and businesses that make the neighborhood feel like home.

West Seattle Art Tour

Saturday and Sunday, September 19–20 | 10 AM–5 PM
Studios, homes, and creative spaces across West Seattle
Admission is free

The West Seattle Art Tour is a free, self-guided opportunity to visit more than 50 professional and emerging artists in studios, homes, and creative spaces across West Seattle.

This is more than a gallery visit. It is an opportunity to meet artists where they work, see original pieces in person, and explore parts of West Seattle you might not typically visit. It is a wonderful activity for art lovers, families, visitors, and anyone looking for a more personal way to connect with the neighborhood.

As you travel between stops, you will see why West Seattle has such a strong sense of identity. From the waterfront and beach communities to established residential streets, local business districts, parks, and creative spaces, the peninsula offers a range of lifestyles within one connected community.

Why the Alaska Junction Lifestyle Matters

The Alaska Junction is more than a place to run errands. It is a gathering place—where people shop, dine, attend community events, meet neighbors, support local businesses, and spend time together.

For homeowners and future buyers, access to these kinds of neighborhood amenities often matters just as much as the features inside a home. A walkable business district, a year-round Farmers Market, independent restaurants, community events, and local services all contribute to the day-to-day experience of living in West Seattle.

Future transportation planning is also part of the neighborhood conversation. The Alaska Junction already offers a walkable mix of shops, restaurants, services, and community activity, while the future light rail project may add another layer to its long-term appeal.
