Seattle Neighborhoods 101 Tour: great for building a mental map of the city!

Overview

Each neighborhood in Seattle has a unique feel, architectural style and social scene. Let’s take a ride and explore some of them! We will check out Capitol Hill, center of nightlife, meander through the Volunteer Park neighborhood to see some of Seattle’s beautiful old Victorian-style homes, then through the Central District to head to the shores of Lake Washington to see mid-century modern delights on our way to Columbia City, Beacon Hill, and Georgetown. There are spectacular views all through this drive! If you’re a new resident of Seattle, or considering moving here, this is a great tour for you to start building a mental map of the feel of the city, guided by a resident of 30 years. If you would like to visit different neighborhoods, please choose the private tour version of this tour and we can craft a personalized experience! With a max of 4 people, this is a fun and personalized way to explore the city. Proof of vaccination is required for all tours.

What To Expect

Capitol Hill

We will tour the neighborhood to get the cultural feel and start building that mental map of the different neighborhoods. Home to fabulous night life, indie shops and home of our LGBTQ community, Capitol Hill has it all!

Columbia City Theater

We will see the historic Columbia City neighborhood, which has lovely older buildings, loads of brand new apts and a light rail station. If you're looking for a neighborhood to settle in, this one is popular and a short train ride to downtown. Then we're off to Beacon Hill and over to Georgetown.

Beacon Hill Food Forest

We will check out the Beacon Hill neighborhood and discover incredible views and culture in this neighborhood just south of downtown. Then we're off to Georgetown!

Oxbow Park

The Georgetown neighborhood is one of my favorites, full of artists and bars and history! We will stop for a sweet treat at my favorite chocolatier in the city!

I've lived in the region for a couple eyars now, but have never figured out what neighborhoods were what. I'd hear about Capitol Hill or Georgetown but have no clue where it was or what it meant to live there. I'm thrilled that I took a chance and went on this tour and now have a much better sense of the various neighborhoods on the South side of Seattle. 3 hours is not enough to see it all, but Lynn took me through Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, Georgetown, and across the bridge to West Seattle showing me the places and people that make these cities the delights they are. As I booked solo, we ended up having quite a bit more flexibility exploring and had many options to chose from. Lynn took me through the cute shops of Capitol Hill, famous record stores, old groceries, beautiful historical buildings, famous chocolate shops, pubs, and the best fish-and-chips shop I've ever had. It was wonderful to be with such and knowledgeable and friendly guide. This tour was exactly what I was hoping for (and so much more) and I can't wait to go again to learn even more about this wonderful city. Lynn is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and seems to know everyone. The perfect makings of a great tour-guide.
