   Where can I look to find out where all the different neighborhoods in West Seattle are located? I keep reading about Fauntlee Hills and others and I have no idea where any of them are.

   Here's a very general one: http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/nmaps/html/NN-1500S.htm

   I did a "map of west seattle" Google search and looked at the images. Some have more detailed neighborhood info than others, but none of them showed all the neighborhoods. I too, would like to know where "Fauntlee Hills" is located.

   Fauntlee Hills is the little community directly east of the Fauntleroy Ferry terminal, according to Google...

   One of the local realtors described my neighborhood, Gatewood Hill,as,"tony upper Lincoln Park Beach". Good luck finding that neighborhood on a map. Also, I no I can speak for my neighbors when I say, "We ain't tony".

   wow, based on that city map, West Seattle is defined as only the areas west of 35th? what about the rest of West Seattle?

   We've had this discussion 6 million times (and yet I cannot find a link, my apologies). I need to just put up a page one of these days. The city maps are completely unrelated to which neighborhoods actually exist and where. Also, regarding the "West Seattle is west of 35th," that's because much of the city consideration is based on the fact that the city splits the peninsula into the "West Seattle" and "Delridge" districts, at least for the district-council purposes. We here cover ALL of West Seattle as ONE peninsula with a long list of neighborhoods. They include:
   Admiral
   Alki
   Upper Alki
   Beach Drive
   Charlestown Hill
   Genesee Hill
   Luna Park
   North Delridge
   South Delridge
   Highland Park
   Gatewood
   Fauntleroy
   Upper Fauntleroy
   Brace Point
   Arbor Heights
   Westwood
   Fairmount Springs
   Seaview
   The Junction
   The Triangle
   Morgan Junction
   Hansen View
   Puget Ridge
   Sunrise Heights

   and I know I am missing some but gotta get back to a story

   thanks TR

   WSSpartan; love your question; I've been here 11 yrs and still don't know all of these listed; never heard of Hansen View, and not sure where some on this list are located; seems that every realtor in WS would want to have a map with these designations, and with borders for school districts, which is huge selling point for young families

   According to the city map, my neighborhood is Riverview, although I have never heard/read reference to it anywhere else. I did find an old defunct webpage at one time there was a Riverview neighborhood group but it was long ago.

    Oh, please do not forget Kootchman Desert. It is within 100 yards of where the K-man lives. ROFL.....

    I live in Fauntlee Hills! I'm not sure of the exact lines but I'd say 38th/39th/Barton to the south, maybe to Trenton to the north, down to 45th or so to the west. Kind of in that area.

    I know where Riverview is because of Riverview Playfield.

    Nobody outside of West Seattle knows where Highland Park is. I've lost count of how many times I've had this conversation:

    "So where in West Seattle do you live?"
    "Highland Park."
    "Oh, I don't know where that is."
    "It's north of White Center."
    "Oh..."
    *LOOOOOOOOONG pause*
    "...is it safe?"

    :D

    In an attempt to class things up a bit, my wife and her close friend have begun addressing each other as "Princess of Arbor on High" and "Lady of the Gate on Wood."

    Yes, the wine was quite inexpensive...

    I have to say that I laugh at the name Riverview because there isn't much view of the river for the trees :)

    There's also my neighborhood, High Point. Here's the map from the city page of the rest of West Seattle (i.e. west of 35th).
