Visiting Seattle:

Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by the Cascade mountains, the puget sound, lake washington and lake union, it combines the vibrant energy of a large city with the small-town charm of its many neighborhoods. In 2017, it was voted the second most livable city in the United States. It is no wonder that many large companies including Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, Starbucks etc have made Seattle their headquarters.

Popular things to do around the city include:
• Walk around the world-famous Pike Place Market and see fishermen toss their catch of the day.
• Have a cup of coffee from the very first Starbucks store in the US
• Take a tour of the Boeing Museum of Flight
• Spend a weekend in a cabin on Mt. Rainier
