We are a couple who fell in love with a quiet, beachside street in West Seattle. Living right on Octopus Ave, we wanted to capture the organic, oceanfront elegance of our Pacific Northwest shore house and the cozy beach community that surrounds it.
What started as simple weekend styling and local beach walks quickly grew into a passion. We decided to hit "record" on our daily life, starting @OctopusAve on TikTok and Instagram to build a community of design enthusiasts, travel lovers, and sunset watchers.
Whether you're here to find the perfect home decor tips, plan a perfect 48-hour Seattle getaway, or just escape with us into beautiful shore house vlogs, we're so glad you've landed on our avenue. Let's make every day feel like a weekend by the water.
We've mapped out our absolute favorite spots around the West Seattle peninsula. Click any glowing location pin to see our insider recommendations.
📍 Alki Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116
A beautiful 2.5-mile paved path stretching along the ocean with panoramic views of the Seattle skyline. Grab a coffee, rent some skates, or simply walk along the seawall like a local.
"Our absolute favorite spot for sunrise lavender lattes. In the evenings, you can watch seals popping up in the water!"
📍 California Ave SW & SW Alaska St
The historic, bustling downtown core of the West Seattle peninsula. Full of local, independent businesses, records stores, cozy bakeries, bookstores, and incredible seafood restaurants.
"Spend your Sundays browsing through crates of classic vinyl at Easy Street Records, then head to the Farmers Market for fresh bakery goods!"
📍 8011 Fauntleroy Way SW, Seattle, WA 98136
A spectacular 135-acre park situated on a headland. Offers miles of winding forest trails beneath giant Douglas firs, grassy picnic tables, rocky shores, and the Colman outdoor saltwater pool.
"It feels like you're deep inside an ancient rainforest, but the trail opens right up to a gorgeous beach looking out at Vashon Island."
📍 Octopus Ave, West Seattle
Our happy place. Built directly along the coastal shoreline, this is where we style our coastal modern home decor, edit our vlogs, and plan our weekly neighborhood adventures.
"Yes, our street is actually named Octopus Ave! The perfect inspiration for our beachside lifestyle and home projects."
From cozy coastal interior designs to localized Pacific Northwest guides and content creator journals.
