Seattle, Washington is on the top of my list of US cities I dream of living in. Its population is around 650,000, and in a 2-mile radius, you can find 100+ Starbucks. Seattle is the birthplace of grunge music (Nirvana, for example). People may recognize or affiliate Seattle with the Space Needle, which lies just north of Downtown. The metropolitan area covers Lake Washington and Lake Union in the middle and is bordered by the Pudget Sound to the west.Seattle offers many employment and educational opportunities. Washington Mutual Bank (before its closure) was headquartered in Seattle, along with Starbucks Coffee. Microsoft Corporation has recently opened new facilities in the area, as well. The University of Washington's main branch is located in Seattle. This is particularly important to me, for I would love to attend that school.
I took this photo on my last trip to visit my brother (who lives in Olympia, about an hour away). We go to Seattle every time we're in the area.
Seattle always seemed like an amazing place to me. The only downfall I can think of is the rain, but I'm sure even I could deal with that. There's just something about cities like Seattle, with their food and culture, that make them so alluring. And, you can't forget that the hit show, Grey's Anatomy, is set in Seattle.
