Seattle is located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington on the northern-most latitude of any major city in the U.S., outside of Alaska. The mild winters and cool summers work together like magic to make Seattle unbelievably lush and green, this earning it the nickname, "The Emerald City." Seattle's
moderate climate combined with a contrasting geography of water and mountains
encourage a wealth of year round outdoor activity opportunities. Sailing, jogging,
bicycling, kayaking, rowing, scuba diving, and golf are all available within the
city limits. Rock climbing, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and whale watching
opportunities are just a short drive away. The city is rich with art, culture, and attractions that delight, educate, and entertain. Among them include the Space Needle, the Pike Place Market, the Woodland Park Zoo, the Pacific Science Center, the Seattle Aquarium, the Seattle Art Museum, the Seattle Opera, the Pacific Northwest Ballet, the Seattle Repertory Theater, and so many more. In addition, the city is a food lover's paradise that boasts over 2,200 restaurants representing just about every type of cuisine, ranging from seafood to Asian to Northwestern. World-class shopping at the city's many fine retail centers, including Pacific Place and Westlake Center, offer opportunities to purchase just about anything - from the routine to the sublime -- on one's shopping list.
