Admiral District History Walking Tour
3rd Saturdays June-Sept, 10:00-12:00 pm (July tour moved to Sat, 7/25/26)
45th Ave SW and Seattle Street
The Duwamish Peninsula has been home to Coast Salish peoples at least as far back as the retreat of the last glacier 14,00 years ago. Despite the arrival of the colonial landing party, AKA the Denny Party, on Alki in 1851, the peninsula saw only scattered settlements in subsequent decades. In the late 19th century, European American settlers platted what is now the Admiral District.
Learn about the people who have lived along Duwamish head and Admiral district, attempts to erase Coast Salish people from residing here, and the annexation of “West Seattle” to the larger city in 1907. Stops include the Admiral Viewpoint Story Pole, Hainsworth House, the Benbow Room, West Seattle Library, the Admiral Theater, West Seattle High School, and the Sixth Church of Christ (home to the Washington Black Legacy Institute and the Seattle Griot Project).
End your tour with the Washington Black Legacy Institute and learn about their work preserving Seattle’s Black History.
The tour begins at Belvedere Park at the corner of 37th Ave and Admiral Way. Please consider parking in the neighborhood as parking at Belvedere Park is limited. Your tour ends at the Sanctuary at Admiral, known as the Sixth Church of Christ, which is about a ½ mile from your starting point.
Tours are offered every 3rd Saturday at 10:00 am and run until 12:00 pm. They include one and a half miles of walking and involve some elevation and disrupted walking paths.
