Seattle

Our corner of the Pacific Northwest has become a global icon for quality of living. National magazines such as Fortune and Money rate the Puget Sound region one of the best places to live and raise families in the United States.

Seattle is located just a few hours from Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, British Columbia, as well as the Olympic Peninsula, the Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier and the San Juan Islands. The area’s endless recreation opportunities include hiking, mountain climbing, biking, sailing and whale watching. Downtown Seattle is thriving, highlighted by the recent openings of Safeco Field, the baseball stadium of the Seattle Mariners; Benaroya Hall, the home of the Seattle Symphony; and countless world-class restaurants and shopping centers.
