SEATTLE, WASHINGTON


>>Visit the official Seattle website<<

Seattle is known as “the Emerald City."
Seattle sits on the shores of two large lakes and Puget Sound, with remote wilderness less than an hour away, and it is flanked by two major mountain ranges, with Mount Rainier in full view from the city.
Sightseeing and restaurants (more than 2,200) make this city one that never bores you, and despite the stigma of rain and clouds, the average annual rainfall is only 36 inches, less than New York and Atlanta!
