2020 Map of Duwamish Head

About this map

Puget Sound serves as the central thoroughfare in this 2020 study, where the maritime identity of West Seattle and the neighboring islands is defined by a complex network of ferry routes. The map documents the vital transit links connecting the mainland to Bainbridge Island and the Great Peninsula, including the Seattle - Bremerton Ferry and the Fauntleroy - Vashon Ferry. Along the eastern shore, the residential patterns of Arbor Heights and Fauntleroy meet the sound at landmarks like Alki Point and Duwamish Head. To the west, the map details the rugged coastline of Blake Island and the southern tip of Bainbridge Island at Restoration Point. This modern record captures the enduring intersection of urban expansion and the maritime geography of the East Passage and Colvos Passage.
