Fauntleroy Fall Festival

FAUNTLEROY FALL FESTIVAL

The Fauntleroy Fall Festival is an annual toast to the Fauntleroy Neighborhood. The event started over 20 years ago as a response to the unfortunate events of 9/11. Our neighborhood had changed; people were afraid. With new families moving into the neighborhood, we decided a humble gathering of a few hundred neighbors could be the spark needed to rebuild our community. That spark rekindled our community and has blossomed into an annual free event that will welcome over a thousand neighbors in a celebration of goodwill and camaraderie.

Certain things have remained in our 20 year legacy–we have and always will try to be free to our community. All activities at the festival are committed to making the event safe and fun for our neighbors and families. Our legacy activities–salmon hats, pumpkin painting, and birdhouse building have and will persist. Additionally, the endless support of our neighborhood organizations and companies that remain committed to keeping this event free to the neighborhood. We are forever grateful to our partners.

Annual Spring Egg Hunt

Back by popular demand, Fauntleroy Community Association’s free annual egg hunt will be:

Sunday, March 24, 2024 1:00 - 2:00 pm Fauntleroy Schoolhouse playground

Bring the kids and a basket for each, then stand back as they search for eggs with treasures (not candy) inside.

The little ones, ages 4 and under, will be let loose to hunt. Then the older children will be given the go ahead.

Add a bit more fun by joining coordinator Candace Blue and Scott Wiesemann at an egg stuffing party or help hide the eggs. Email her at blueyvette47@gmail.com for specifics and to volunteer.

Bicycling Safety Forum

August 11, 2026

On August 11, the Fauntleroy Community Association hosted a public forum on bicycling safety at The Hall at Fauntleroy. President Frank Immel and Vice President Catherine Bailey moderated. The meeting came two months after bicyclist Maridee Bonadea was killed on SW Wildwood Place, a short distance uphill from the Fauntleroy ferry dock.

Her daughter, Lani, and her widow, Laura, spoke first. Both said safer streets should not wait for the next death, and should not depend on who was killed. Laura’s words gave the evening its theme: everyone deserves to live. Friends from Rainbow Riders and other neighbors asked officials to act on known hazards elsewhere too, not only on this one block.

The panel included SDOT Director Angela Brady, SDOT safety officer Venu Nemani, representatives of Washington State Ferries and Metro, Alex Hudson from Mayor Wilson’s office, and City Councilmember Rob Saka.

SDOT described work it is designing for the crash site: removing parking on the south side of that block of SW Wildwood Place, an all-way stop at Fauntleroy Way SW and SW Wildwood Place, and a bike lane. Nemani said the parking removal would be done within a few weeks. The next day, temporary no-parking signs were posted from Fauntleroy Way to 36th Ave SW.

Neighbors also asked the city to revisit recommendations that were never built, including a 2020 report that called for removing the Wildwood parking, and to keep the community informed as designs and timelines firm up. SDOT said it would. Washington State Ferries noted that a traffic signal is planned later this year where the ferry dock meets Fauntleroy Way. Councilmember Saka said he is drafting traffic-safety legislation that would look more broadly at intersection daylighting, side guards on trucks, and Vision Zero reviews.

West Seattle Blog recorded the forum and published a full account.

Since then, the city has moved ahead on Wildwood. See our updates on the protected bike lane and the ferry-dock traffic signal.
