Seattle, Washington, is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. Located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in King County, of which it is the county seat, and 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, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Nintendo of America, Starbucks, and the University of Washington, Seattle is also the home of a vibrant arts scene and an excellent park system.

One of the things that makes Seattle unique is its history of the last century. Be sure to check out the "Underground Tour." Downtown Seattle used to be about 10 feet below where it is now! Long story. 195 days ago
this place is AMAZING-- one of the most remarkable libraries I've ever seen (right up there with the Copenhagen University Library). check out the cool spiral design. 264 days ago
Eat at any of Tom Douglas restaurants! I highly recommend LoLa on the corner of 4th and Virginia. Awesome lunch! For the best Coconut Cream Pie go across the street to Dhalia Bakery . 153 days, 23 hours ago
Hands down, my favorite city I've been to in the world. (not saying much yet...) Fun, easy to get around, reasonable prices, clean, friendly, safe, laid-back. Aquarium is awesome, don't bother with the MoMA unless you're an art major. :) The Public Market is all you've heard about and more, do it. 181 days, 22 hours ago

Its swooping, multicolored, metal-skinned bulk rises at the foot of the Space Needle, proof that real 21st-century architecture looks nothing like the vision of the future people dreamed of when the Space Needle was built for the 1962 World's Fair.
