RAINIER BEACH | South Seattle Neighborhoods
Rainier Beach is one of the older neighborhoods in Seattle with development starting in the early 1900’s. A trolley line from Washington Street in downtown Seattle ended in Rainier Beach and helped spur early access and development in the area. Rainier Beach was annexed by the city of Seattle in 1917 but didn’t start to really grow until a significant development period during World War II as housing was built for workers in the neighborhood. That same development transitioned into low income housing after the war. Throughout the latter half of the 1900’s, Rainier Beach had issues with high crime rates and was generally looked upon as a less desirable neighborhood because of it. In the late 1990’s a concerted effort was made by public and private groups to re-vitalize Rainier Beach with the development of new housing. As that process continued into the early 2000’s the crime rate dropped and it became a more desirable location for residents.
There are numerous businesses of all types in Rainier Beach with most falling along Rainier Avenue and Renton Avenue and their intersections with Henderson. Rainier Beach throughout its history has been one of the most diverse neighborhoods in all of Seattle and that continues today with a population that is nearly evenly distributed racially. Housing in Rainier Beach is primarily single family residential although there are a significant number of condos which are concentrated close to Lake Washington. Single family homes in the area tend to be below the average median price for homes in Seattle with prices starting in the upper $200k range.
