Recently, I came across a wonderful district just south of Seattle’s Downtown. Formerly an industrial district (it still kind of is), Georgetown is a great place to live, work and play.

The most notable buildings in Georgetown include The Lofts on Lucile, Pacific Market Center and the Seattle Design Center. In addition, on Airport Way South, there are various gift shops, restaurants and bars. There is even a tattoo shop and a Vespa dealership.

Georgetown also has a growing music scene – the renowned band Pearl Jam and local rapper the Y.F.C. have their studios in Georgetown. In addition, there are privately owned music recording studios and schools in the Georgetown area. Each year, they also have a music festival and street market in that same area.

With a diverse and eclectic mix of arts, design and affordability, Georgetown is a unique atmosphere for one to reside in. For more informaton about Georgetown in Seattle, Washington, please continue to check out LetMeVisit.com. Have a great day.

This weekend was the Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle, Washington, a hot music festival on Seattle’s Capitol Hill, located slightly east of the Downtown Commercial Business District.

Tickets were for sale ($23 a day and $42 for both days through their vendor TicketWest. Here is their lineup for you to check out. Bands like Sonic Youth and the Black Lips are amongst the bands playing.

In addition to the music festival, on any given day you can explore the area like the main street, Broadway, filled with eclectic gift shops, restaurants and fashionable clothing stores. Capitol Hill is home to a number of luxury automobile dealerships like Ferarri, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

In addition, there are many trendy nightclubs for you to party and art galleries for you to enjoy the surroudings. Head farther east, you will find the upscale residential neighborhoods of Madison Park, Broadmoor, Denny Blaine and Washington Park along the beautiful shores of Lake Washington.

What’s unique about Madison Park is the waterfront park with boat launches and other facilities for the public. So if you like to enjoy the Pacific Northwest, why not check out Madison Park after visiting Capitol Hill.

When traveling to Seattle, especially if are you planning to study there, you should definitely check out the University District, also known as U-District.

Centered on a street called University Way or many call it the Ave, the U-District is nearby the University of Washington’s Seattle campus where its award-winning medical, nursing, and computer science schools are located at, along with most of its other programs like the high-ranking Foster School of Business and the College of Engineering.

The Ave is full of high quality restaurants from all arenas of the world. You can have Chipotle burritos or basically any kind of Asian food. There is teriyaki, there is pho as well as Korean and Chinese food. Thus, overall, U-District is a great place to live and visit, as one can embrace the student lifestyle with freedom. Have a great day!
