Unattended Death and Biohazard Cleanup in Seabrook, MD

Seabrook is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Prince George's County, Maryland, located about 12 miles east of Washington, D.C.

Seabrook is named for Thomas Seabrook, a topographical engineer with the Pennsylvania Railroad who bought 500 acres around a planned station in 1871 to create a retreat community.

The community grew up around the Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, which opened in July 1872 with a station the railroad named 'Seabrook's.'

Thomas Seabrook built three Gothic cottages and a park with fenced-in tame deer near the station in the early 1870s, and a school was built in the community in 1895.

Before 2010 Seabrook was part of the Lanham-Seabrook CDP; it first appeared as its own CDP in the 2010 census, formed from the former Goddard CDP and parts of the Lanham-Seabrook and Glenn Dale CDPs.

The 2020 census counted 19,627 residents in Seabrook, up 13.5 percent from 17,287 in 2010.

Seabrook had 6,105 households and 6,339 housing units at the 2020 census.

The CDP covers about 3.1 square miles, with a 2020 population density of roughly 6,378 people per square mile.

Much of Seabrook's 1950s growth came from red-brick subdivisions built along Lanham-Severn Road, now Maryland Route 564, for employees of the newly established NASA Goddard Space Flight Center just to the north.

Seabrook has its own MARC commuter rail station on the Penn Line, surrounded by a cluster of small businesses.
