Seattle is a bustling metropolis situated
between Lake Washington and the beautiful Puget Sound.
These watery surrounds emphasize the beauty of the
forested mountain ranges, the Cascades to the east
and the Olympics to the west. On clear days, the views
of Mount Rainer and Mount Olympus are a constant reminder
that we are never far from natural beauty. The Emerald
City is known as well for Lattes, rain, Bill Gates
and Microsoft, Boeing and numerous tourist attractions.
An active outdoor town with bicyclers using protected
trails, early morning kayakers, and joggers that fully
utilize the many parks situated in the midst of busy
neighborhoods. Extensive hiking trails and a temperate
climate make this an ideal location for a variety of
outdoor sports and activities
Seattle has 2 million inhabitants in the metro region
and has remained vibrant in these changing economic
times. In recent news reports, Seattle continues to
attract new college graduates for opportunities in
venture capital, software and hi-tech enterprises and
specialty retail. Sound environmental controls and
diverse cultural representation result in new and innovative
development and expansion.
Seattle is a food lover’s paradise. The availability
of fresh fish as well as farm fresh vegetables and
fruit makes exploring the restaurant and supermarket
scene an adventure in itself. Exotic spices and unusual
ingredients that may be hard to find in other cities
are easily acquired in our many ethnic neighborhoods
and markets.
Entertainment is an eclectic mix. From the classical
sounds of the Benaroya Hall or the
McCaw Opera Hall, to the jazz and “grunge” scene,
Seattle has something for everyone. The Experience
Music Project museum at Seattle Center allows for an
interactive exposure to all varieties of music genre.
