Seattle, WA isn’t just the biggest city in Washington State – it’s the single largest metropolitan area in the entire Pacific Northwest and the 15th-largest metropolitan area in America.

Located on an isthmus between Lake Washington and Puget Sound, Seattle is the seat of King County and the closest major city in the “lower 48” to the state of Alaska.
The Seattle music scene is the stuff of legend. The city has played important roles in the history of jazz, rock (Jimi Hendrix was born there), and – perhaps most famously – grunge. Seattle is also notable for its strong performing arts presence, the Seattle Great Wheel, and a number of arts and history museums. Local professional sports teams include the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, the MLB’s Seattle Mariners, and the NHL’s Seattle Kraken.
With a GMP of $231 billion as of 2010, Seattle is home to large companies both old and new. Fortune 500’s 2017 list featured a total of five Seattle-based companies: Amazon, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Weyerhaeuser, and Expeditors International of Washington. Boeing was also previously based in Seattle.

Kirkland is known for its downtown district, which is located on the city’s waterfront. This district is characterized by its art galleries, public art, public parks, a performing arts center, and other amenities.
