Welcome to Seattle

Known as the “Emerald City”, Seattle is enveloped by natural beauty from sea to sky. Centered between two mountains, Seattleites enjoy panoramic vistas as an everyday occurrence; notably Mount Rainier, the awe-inspiring peak situated 14,410 feet above sea level. Surrounded by the unique waters of Elliott Bay, the Puget Sound, and Lake Washington, the Seattle area has the highest number of boats per capita in the U.S. – the stunningly beautiful Sound offers protected waterways and countless nearby islands, coves and seaside destinations to visit – known for some of the most scenic coastline in the world. This diversity of landscapes and natural splendor defines Seattle’s true beauty.

Anchored by global health, philanthropy and entrepreneurialism, businesses like the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Amazon are all headquartered downtown. Not to forget the up-and-comers, Seattle’s buzzing start-up scene makes it home to Rover, recently named the “Next Tech Titan” by Geekwire, and Convoy, achieving unicorn status with $1 billion+ valuation in 2019, all contributing to the spirit of innovation for which Seattle is known. From artificial intelligence to cyber security, Seattle continues to be a hub for thinkers who are doers.

Seattle presents more cultural offerings per capita than any other US city: it’s home to The Pacific Northwest Ballet, The Seattle Symphony, Chihuly Garden and Glass, numerous performance halls as well as professional and semi-professional sports stadiums drawing dedicated fans for the Seattle Seahawks, Sounders, Mariners, and the Reign FC.

Additionally, popular attractions like The Pike Place Market, one of the nation’s largest and longest running public markets, draws more than ten million visitors a year. Add these attractions to ~2,000 city coffee shops, home to the biggest names in grunge music, and plenty of glassblowing and tattoo shops, and you can truly feel the essence of Seattle. The Emerald City’s diverse tapestry is what makes it special – the heart of a quirky, creative small town with the mind of an economic powerhouse.
