Seattle is the northernmost
major city and the largest city in the Pacific Northwest and the
state of Washington. It is named after Chief Sealth 'Seattle', of
the duwamish and Suquamish native tribes. Seattle is the center
of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan statistical area -
the 15th largest in the USA. Seattle is the county seat of King
County and is the major economic, cultural and educational center
in the region. The 2010 census found that Seattle is home to
608,660 residents within a metropolitan area of some 3.4 million
inhabitants. The Port of Seattle, which also operates
Seattle-Tacoma international airport is a major gateway for trade
with Asia and cruises to Alaska, and is the 8th largest port in
the United States in terms of container capacity.
The area around Pine Street
and towards the 7th avenue is an eldorado for shopping. If you
prefere to look around and study smaller details of buildings,
parks and others that is also possible, and a visit to the
marketarea along the piers is a must. Not certain what to eat?
You find seafood and a lot of places with very international food
available. To get around here is easy with a streetmap, and too
get further, use teh monorail, bus or light rail towards the
airport area.
