Quiet residential streets fan out on both sides of Fauntleroy Way as it runs southwest through Fairmount Park in Seattle, a compact West Seattle neighborhood stretching from SW Edmunds Street in the north to SW Graham Street in the south. Two community anchors give the area its shape: Fairmount Playfield, a city park, and Fairmount Park Elementary School, part of Seattle Public Schools.
Finding Your Way to Fairmount Park
Follow Fauntleroy Way and you are already in the right place, since this arterial runs straight through the middle of the neighborhood. Homes and side streets spread out on either side of the road. The whole area stays compact, framed by SW Edmunds Street at its northern edge and SW Graham Street at its southern edge.
