Directions

West Marina Place

It’s kind of hard to find, take Western Ave. northwest along the bay from downtown when it curves right (north) there is an overpass to the west, take it. After you pass piers 90 & 91 your will find 23^rd Avenue W. Turn on 23^rd Avenue W and drive south to its end then turn right onto Marina Place.

Or from go south on 28^th Avenue West to W. Galer, turn left. Galer St. will curve a couple of times then become W Garfield Street. About one half block from second curve you will find 23^rd Avenue West on the right. Turn on 23^rd Ave. W and go south to its end, turn right onto Marina Place.

Salmon Bay

Salmon Bay is on the southwest side of the Ballard Bridge, the bridge that goes over the Ship Canal on 15^th Avenue W.

McGraw Street

McGraw Street is a cross street of 28^th Avenue W in the 2400 block about in the middle of Magnolia.

Dravus Street

Dravus Street is a cross street to Nickerson St. Nickerson Street runs along the south bank of the ship canal between the Ballard Bridge and the Freemont Bridge (4^th Ave N). Take Westlake that runs along the west shore of Lake Union, northeast until it turns right to go over the bridge over the ship canal. Continue straight, not crossing the bridge and you are on Nickerson. Dravus St. is on the left in a couple of blocks. Dravus is actually in our Interbay neighborhood but we’ve included it here for simplicity.
