Life in Seattle Metro

With everything from unrivaled natural beauty and world-class attractions to major sports teams, a thriving arts & culture scene, and beyond, there is always something to do in Seattle. The area is bursting with entertainment, outdoor adventures, and fine-dining restaurants. Meet Artisan makers, shop in Indie boutiques or designer fashion shops, admire priceless works of art, sing your heart out at a karaoke club, visit the oldest Starbucks in America, catch a fish at the famous ‘Pike Place Market,’ and explore the city’s diverse neighborhoods. One of the city’s most active sightseeing areas is the Waterfront with its Piers that are home to recreational spaces, boat tours, and ferry docks, as well as fun attractions like “The Great Ferris Wheel.” In addition, the city boasts a magnificent mountain setting: to the east is the ice pyramid of Mount Rainier National Park, rising out of the Cascade Mountains, and to the west, the partly snowcapped peaks of Olympic National Park. Some call Seattle the Coffee capital of the U.S., as it is the first city to open a Starbucks. With a booming tech industry, Pike Place Market, the Seattle Seahawks, and so much more, Seattle is a wonderful place to enjoy a work-life balance. Don’t forget to ride to the top of the Space Needle while you’re there!
