The '''street layout of Seattle''' is based on a series of disjointed rectangular [[street]] [[Street grid|grids]]. Most of [[Seattle]] and [[King County, Washington|King County]] use a single street grid, oriented on [[true north]].  Near the center of the city, various [[land claim]]s were [[plat]]ted in the 19th century with differently oriented grids, which still survive today. Distinctly oriented grids also exist in some cities annexed by Seattle in the early 20th century, such as [[Ballard, Seattle|Ballard]] and [[Georgetown, Seattle|Georgetown]]. A small number of streets and roads are exceptions to the grid pattern.
