As Seattle’s oldest neighborhood, Georgetown was settled in the 1850s. It quickly became an industrial center, filled with brick warehouses and a few taverns. It was where Seattle residents came to work or play, but not to live. That all changed as the warehouses were slowly converted into lofts and artists began to move in. Today, Georgetown is hip, trendy, and a little bit quirky.

Georgetown is wedged between I-5 and the Duwamish Waterway, directly south of the Industrial District. It is less than four miles from Downtown Seattle. Industry still resides here – the neighborhood is home to Boeing, several distribution centers, and businesses like Grainger Industrial Supply. But this just adds a layer of gritty authenticity to Georgetown and makes the art galleries and breweries that much more interesting. Be sure to visit local favorites like Georgetown Brewery, Emerald City Beer, or Machine House Brewery.
