1 Apartments for Rent in Georgetown - Seattle

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.

If you love thrift stores and vintage shops, then you’ll love the Trailer Park Mall. This unique shopping experience involves vintage trailers hauling everything from works of art to second-hand clothing. The large number of artists in the neighborhood lend to events like Art Attack, a once-a-month street festival featuring the works of local artists.
