Welcome to the Neighborhood: Seattle
The city of Seattle has something to offer for everyone, from the busy family, to the on the go corporate business person, the outside-y one and everyone in between. There are many different elements that make up the city and draw people in.
The great city of Seattle, home of the Seattle Seahawks and the University of Washington Huskies (Go dawgs!), is the largest city in the state of Washington and home to many big names in the tech industry — Microsoft and Amazon to name some. People come to Seattle from all over the world for so many reasons, it has a way of drawing people in. We get that the city is big, and moving to a new place can be challenging regardless of size. We have our favorite places to visit, coffee shops to enjoy (because everybody in Seattle drinks coffee), and restaurants to dine in listed in order to give you a starting point for exploring the Seattle.
