About Georgetown

All the guide books will tell you to visit Downtown Seattle, but insiders know the best way to experience Seattle is through its surrounding neighborhoods.

Georgetown is a fiercely independent area of South Seattle that even some locals haven’t explored yet. That’s a shame, though, as it’s Seattle’s oldest neighborhood. In fact, the first settlers here encouraged the people who are credited to have founded Seattle to move out west! The area thrived because of its ability to grow hops, but this beer-loving town was almost forgotten after Prohibition. Thankfully it was restored in the 90s and it’s now a lovely area to spend the afternoon.

You can see the history seeping out of Georgetown thanks to the careful restoration of brick buildings, tile stoops, molding, and light fixtures. If you love independent shops, antiques, restaurants, and art markets, you’ll absolutely love Georgetown. I look forward to sharing this gem of a neighborhood with you!

About your guide

Hi I’m Adria! I help people discover the best flavors, makers, and unique adventures in the Pacific Northwest through travel guides, food tours, and small group tours.

Seattle has been my home for almost 15 years, which means I know where to find the best eats. And since I care deeply about small businesses, I decided to create self-guided walking tours to connect you with my favorites.

I considered hosting in-person Seattle walking tours, but I discovered some things about the industry that made me uncomfortable.

First, there’s an issue with some food tour companies trying to get discounts from restaurants with promises of “exposure”. Second, tours tend to cater to large groups. As a result, some businesses aren’t willing to work with food tours.

To better align with my values of supporting small businesses and authentically sharing the best of the best, I decided to offer self-guided walking tours of Seattle instead. I hope you love them as much as I do, and take pride knowing you are supporting small businesses directly.
