Georgetown

Seattle's Greater Duwamish district, about 4.68 miles from downtown, in King County.

Researched and written by Ryan Rose · Updated October 29, 2026

Georgetown's 24 restaurants and 11 cafes are what I liked most in my records, alongside the 1 grocery store inside its borders. I also found a housing mix of 48.0% single-family and 43.7% townhouse, with Georgetown Flume Park and Georgetown Playfield among the parks within the neighborhood. The trade-off is lot size: the average is 3,077 sq ft, smaller than all 82 other compared neighborhoods, and sidewalk coverage is an estimated 51.9%.
