Youth and Art in Georgetown!
You may not be able to see them through the bars, trains and planes, but
Georgetown harbors more than just green thumbs, black sheep and bohemians,
we have youth!
And kids look good on you Georgetown!
One of the ways we'd like to show our love for the youngsters in Georgetown is by creating a comprehensive list of family friendly, youth specific and arts related organizations located right here in the heart of Georgetown and around the greater Duwamish area.
Below you will find magnificent and inspiring groups, organizations and people who will lead our youth into a future of success, compassion and beauty.
Enjoy!
