The Seattle area is a beautiful and stimulating place, alive with growth, energy and ideas. A lot is going on in the region, in technology, the arts, commerce, medicine, politics, outdoor life and pop culture. Located on Puget Sound and surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges, Seattle is one of the most beautiful urban centers in the country. In fact, the Seattle metropolitan area is considered one of the most desirable places in the country in which to live and work.
The area features thriving club, music, literary, movie and arts scenes; acclaimed symphony, opera, ballet and theater companies; exciting, professional sports teams; renowned restaurants; vibrant cultural and music festivals; and great outdoor adventures for hiking, biking, boating, skiing and fishing.
It’s a great place to nest as well. Distinct and livable neighborhoods, with great shopping, city parks, lakes, bike routes, gyms and cafes close by. And as for the weather·it rains much less than you might think. Truth is, it rains less here than it does in New York, Washington, D. C and a number of other East Coast cities. The temperature in Seattle is mild, which means pleasant summers and very little snow in the winter – except in the nearby mountains.
