Seattle, Washington, is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, situated between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, offering stunning views of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains. The city has a marine climate, with mild, rainy winters and cool, relatively dry summers. Clear summer days encourage outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and boating, while nearby mountains provide year-round recreation opportunities.
Seattle’s economy blends historic industries with modern growth. Boeing established the city as an aerospace hub, while technology now drives much of its development, thanks to companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and a growing number of startups. Healthcare, biotechnology, clean energy, and international trade through the Port of Seattle further support economic diversity.
The University of Washington adds to research, innovation, and workforce training. City life offers a mix of urban amenities and natural access. Cultural institutions in Seattle include the Seattle Art Museum, the Museum of Pop Culture, and a vibrant performing arts scene. Neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Ballard, and Fremont feature dining, shopping, and entertainment, while coffee culture remains central to Seattle’s identity, as the birthplace of Starbucks, and home to many independent cafés. Although the cost of living is higher than average, residents benefit from employment opportunities, quality healthcare, and expanding transit options.
Seattle’s financial sector supports individuals, businesses, and trade through national and regional banks, credit unions, and investment firms. Services range from commercial lending and wealth management to digital banking and fintech, reflecting the city’s technology-driven economy. Financial institutions also contribute to community development, strengthening Seattle’s role as a regional economic hub.
