About Delridge
Delridge is an informal district of neighborhoods in West Seattle,
Washington, bounded by the Duwamish River to the north and east, unincorporated
White Center to the south, and West Seattle to the west, generally along 35th
Avenue SW. Delridge includes the neighborhoods of (north to south, east to west)
North Delridge, Riverview, High Point, Highland Park, South Delridge, and
Roxhill.
Delridge may also be defined by land use, with the primarily residential and
open space Delridge district extending west from W Marginal Way SW, and the
heavy industrial-zoned lower Duwamish Waterway east of Marginal Way and north of
SW Spokane Street as part of the adjacent Industrial District.

High Point
High Point is a neighborhood in the Delridge district of West Seattle,
Washington, so named because it is one of the highest points in Seattle—the
intersection of 35th Avenue SW and SW Myrtle Street is 520 feet above sea level.
Many of the houses in the neighborhood were built during World War II as
government housing, and continued to serve as low-income housing through the
1990s. In 2003 a five-year project began to tear this housing down to make way
for more integrated housing. A small-scale mixed-use neighborhood commercial
center is also currently being developed, which will include a coffee shop and
several commercial services.
High Point has many Southeast Asian and East African immigrants.
Highland Park
Highland Park is traditionally a working-class neighborhood, due to its
proximity to Boeing Field and other employers in the Industrial District. As
with White Center immediately to the south, it now features wide demographic and
ethnic diversity.
Near Highland Park is Westcrest Park, which has a dog park or off-leash dog
area.
Riverview
South Seattle Community College (1970) is in Riverview; the college is notable
for innovative horticulture and the South Seattle Community College Arboretum.
The Seattle Chinese Garden borders the Arboretum. The gardens are on the bluff
overlooking the Duwamish River.[2]

Youngstown (North Delridge)
Youngstown neighborhood is the dell through which Longfellow Creek flows to the
mudflats of the Duwamish River estuary. The neighborhood was rough and rowdy in
the early years of White settlement, built in the 1900s for the immigrant
steelworkers at nearby Seattle Steel (later long Bethlehem Steel, now Nucor
Steel). The Delridge neighborhood features the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center
(1999), developed and opened in 2006 by the nonprofit Delridge Neighborhoods
Development Association in Frank B. Cooper School (Youngstown School, 1917,
renamed 1939) on Delridge Way. The school is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
