Seattle, Washington is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. Located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington overlooking Elliott Bay, Seattle is nicknamed The Emerald City. The city is a damp green gem, with an abundance of evergreen trees throughout, and spectacular views of the Cascade mountains to the east and the Olympic mountains to the west.
Known for being the home of the Space Needle, Boeing's aircraft assembly plants, Microsoft, Nordstrom, Amazon.com, Nintendo of America, Starbucks, Costco, and Seattle University and the University of Washington, Seattle is also the home of a vibrant arts scene and an excellent park system.
