DADUs (Detached Accessory Dwelling Units) are cropping up all over West Seattle. BBC has constructed several DADUs in the area, including a schooner in the Delridge neighborhood and across town on Alki.

The Delridge homeowners primarily use their new backyard cottage because it provides a space for Mom and Dad to stay and for aging in place. 

The Alki DADU is a short-term rental the owner uses to make passive income from Airbnb and VRBO. 

West Seattle’s urban vibrancy and surrounding natural beauty fosters healthy lifestyles for the neighborhood residents, which makes the area a vibrant destination for aging places and travelers.

West Seattle is well-known for its relaxed and friendly atmosphere, offering a diverse range of unique shops, restaurants, and cafes to discover. You can spend hours on California Avenue from Admiral to the Junction shopping at one-of-a-kind stores, dining at mom-and-pop restaurants, and enjoying a drink at a local bar or speakeasy. It has it all, and that means family, too! You can always count on a good holiday parade to weave throughout the streets, a renowned local farmers’ market, the summertime West Seattle Fair, and the neighbors are serious ( in a fun way)  about their yearly Christmas light and decoration displays. – There is always something different and unique going on.

The natural beauty of West Seattle is a huge draw for everyone, therefore making it an easy place to live in retirement. There are long stretches of beach to walk, hikes to explore, dining for every appetite, and easy to get around—almost like a small-town vibe in a big city neighborhood. In addition, getting to downtown Seattle from West Seattle is easy. To get there, residents enjoy the West Seattle Water Taxi, and it’s also easy to get out of town to Vashon Island and the west by ferry.
