This is a Ramble southbound along a tree-filled California Ave. SW. It runs from about as far north as California Ave gets south to “The Junction”, or “downtown” West Seattle. It is one long straight stretch of residential and retail blocks in one of Seattle’s oddly isolated neighborhoods. Seattle’s geography isolates a few neighborhoods and West Seattle is one of them. The map should show why. Once here, it’s an urban oasis. Enjoy!
