Oxbow

Oxbow is a place where diverse disciplines cross and collaborate—experimenting through art installations, performances, workshops, films, and private events. About the name:

The center of Georgetown was once known as Oxbow, named for the meandering Duwamish River. Early residents recognized an opportunity, and quickly developed the area for its industrial uses. The 1910 annexation of Georgetown into Seattle and subsequent construction of a Seattle–Oxbow bridge followed, increasing connection and productivity in the neighborhood. Between 1913 and 1920, the Duwamish River was dredged and straightened, eradicating what once was Oxbow, and making way for Seattle‘s growing commerce.
