The Rainier Valley is a vibrant multicultural community located southeast of downtown Seattle Washington. As we say, it's a "Neighborhood of Nations" and we're proud of it. The Valley includes the historic district of Columbia City and immediate neighbors, Genesee, Lakewood, Seward Park, Beacon Hill, and Hillman City, and Mt. Baker. Rainier Beach is found south and the north end of the valley is home to the International District, Dearborn Park and Judkins Park.
