Georgetown’s bars sit inside an industrial official district. SODO and the port set the noise. A relocator list that skipped this polygon would be lying about the map.

Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Seattle city. Up 79% since 2014. Greater Duwamish is 2% below the 2024 city median.
Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.
HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

Crime is SPD Part I reports per 1,000 ACS residents — not a judgment of who lives here. Home and rent figures are ACS medians, not live MLS. Read the method.
On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Georgetown’s bars sit in an industrial official district with SODO and the port. Planes, trucks, and a property-crime rate that warehouses and visitors help write. People do live here. The map would be dishonest without them.
Search Georgetown if you want the night. Search SODO if you want a stadium and a station. Weight cost and vibe, not schools. Beacon Hill is the ridge above this. Downtown is the next official polygon north.
