Cities & Towns
Seattle
Seattle, the largest metropolis of the Pacific Northwest, and one of the largest urban centers in the entire U.S. Seattle is a major port of entry for both air and sea to Asia and Alaska. Seattle lies alongside greater Puget Sound, a deep inland arm of the northern Pacific Ocean. Seattle is also located at the center of a conurbation that is defined with neighboring cities of Everett to the north, Bellevue to the east, and Tacoma to the south.
Outdoor Adventures
National Parks
With its incredible range of precipitation and elevation, the Olympic National Park is one of a kind. Encompassing nearly a million acres, the park protects a vast wilderness and several distinctly different ecosystems. The Olympic National Park offers glacier mountains, rain forests, and over 70 miles of coastline.
Local Events

Pike Place Market is one of the oldest continuously operated public farmers market in the U.S. The market overlooks Elliot Bay waterfront on Puget Sound and serves as a place of business for many small businesses like craftspeople and merchants.
