Information about Seattle
Why Seattle? Seattle, commercial and cultural star of the Pacific Northwest, is one of America´s most liveable cities – and when you are looking around it´s not hard to see why. Surrounded by water, densely packed with scenic hills and tree-lined streets, and snow-capped mountains visible in almost every direction, it´s a rare urban environment, in which outdoor-style living has not been sacrificed for cosmopolitan culture.
