Seattle/Sodo-Georgetown

[[file:Wikivoyage Page Banner Seattle Cranes and Ship.jpg|1280px|Halal Explorer to Sodo & Georgetown|caption=Cranes at the port}} Seattle's Sodo was originally "South of the Dome", referring to the now-demolished Kingdome; to keep some sense in the name, it is sometimes explained now as "South of Downtown". Georgetown picks up from Sodo somewhere around Spokane street and extends south to Boeing Field and is Seattle's thriving emerging arts neighborhood, full of great restaurants, coffee houses and funky taverns tucked between industrial buildings.
