AI Safety & Governance Service Areas: Bethesda and Montgomery County
Bethesda is a dense, high-income community just over the DC line: a walkable downtown of office towers, restaurants and medical suites around the Bethesda Metro and the Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road corridors, with NIH and Walter Reed anchoring a large cluster of physician, dental and specialty practices. Around the downtown are older single-family neighborhoods of brick colonials and newer rebuilds, most with basements.
