Around Georgetown

Though most of Georgetown is made up of businesses and industries, there is a residential enclave between Corson Avenue South and Ellis Avenue South, as well as along South Homer Street near Georgetown Playfield. The large park has basketball and tennis courts, a wading pool, and a playground that features exercise equipment. Both areas offer easy access to Airport Way South and Interstate 5 for easy commutes.

There are so many dining options along Airport Way South, making it difficult to choose where to eat. Longtime neighborhood favorite Georgetown Liquor Company serves an all-vegan menu and uses alternative proteins to create classic sandwiches. Fonda La Catrina is one of Seattle’s most beloved restaurants offering classic Mexican dishes as well as potent tequila and mezcal libations in their vibrant dining room. Stellar Pizza has been serving its popular pies to the neighborhood since 2001.

Nestled among modest bungalows and modern townhomes sits one of the most opulent structures in the area called Gessner Mansion. This Queen Anne Victorian on Carleton Avenue South is surrounded by a lush garden and is thought to be haunted. If you want a glimpse of a more whimsical structure, check out Oxbow Park. The large sculptures known as Hat n’ Boots, were constructed as a Western-themed gas station in 1954. The landmark features the world’s largest cowboy boots and hat. Another popular spot is Ruby Chow Park, the perfect spot to view the Boeing airplanes taking off the runways.

Hit the tasting room at Georgetown Brewing Company on Denver Avenue South. The Seattle icon is known for its many brews, including one of the city’s most popular beers—Manny’s Pale Ale. Another local brewery is The Elysian Taproom, which also has a tasting room and sells growlers to-go. Step back in time and into Jules Maes Saloon, one of Seattle’s oldest bars opened in 1888. Jet City Winery is another popular spot and home to wines created by local renegade winemaker Charles Smith. Sample their varieties and enjoy small plates in the sleek building that was once a Dr. Pepper bottling plant.

Start the day with brunch at The Hangar Café, which serves hearty dishes in a quaint cottage. After, browse Georgetown Records to score vintage records. The shop shares space with Fantagraphic Comics, another community staple. Visit the Museum of Flight, which houses one of the largest collections of air and space crafts in the U.S. The museum also has rotating exhibits in addition to their permanent collection that features aircrafts such as the towering Lockheed A-12MD Blackbird.

King County Transit Bus Line 124 heads north to Downtown Seattle from Tukwila, stopping in Georgetown. Once downtown, riders can transfer to many bus lines that service all areas of the city.
