Seattle is the Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, Seattle Center, the Space Needle, ferry rides, art, music, and the best coffee on the planet! Commonly known as a commercial, cultural and advanced technology hub of the Pacific Northwest, the City of Seattle is located within the Greater Puget Sound area and is approximately 113 miles from the U.S.-Canadian border.
Seattle has been ranked as one of the best U.S. cities in which to locate a business according to several recent surveys. Key factors that support this include Seattle's skilled work force, manufacturing capability, education and research, quality transportation and infrastructure, and access to international and domestic markets.
Here, more than anywhere else in the world, the forefronts of technology and urban culture stand arm in arm with the dramatic coastline and high alpine terrain. Winters are mild and summers are perfection, with persistent blue skies and temperatures that make air conditioning unnecessary. Seattle actually gets less rain per year than New York, Chicago or Atlanta.
In many ways, this region is futuristic for it embodies the idea that we can balance economic vitality with environmental sensitivity, high technology with simple pleasures, and urban convenience with outdoor adventure. Come explore the contrasting thrills of this metropolitan playground on the edge of the wilderness.
