Parking around churches will be tough on Sunday’s or when there’s an event there. Majority of people going will drive. Schools will have employees coming and parking early and-especially if it’s raining a LOT of parents driving their kids to school or driving to come pick them up. One funny school story is from the Seattle Times. Many years ago due to parents and neighbors’ complaints about speeders around schools SPD did emphasis patrols for a week around schools. Final tally: 75% of the speeding tickets were to parents dropping off or coming to pick up their kids. Noise: unless you live right next door shouldn’t be any noise around churches. If you live by Genesee’s playfield or Hiawatha there’ll be noise when the kids are out playing otherwise shouldn’t be much more than normal noise.

Thanks CarDriver! That all makes sense. Are you, or is anyone, familiar with this church specifically? Because I was reading that it functions a bit like a community center. So I’m wondering if the parking and foot traffic is going to be 7 days a week and not just Sundays.

Living close to West Seattle High School isn’t unpleasant. There’s traffic in the morning and release time. The students can go off campus for lunch. During that time the local stores and eateries are busy. Same is true after school. There’s no obnoxious noise outside of the usual traffic. All in all, I’d say they’re good neighbors.
