Seattle, Washington... A Livable Community
(Community Resources)

Seattle is the gem of the Pacific Northwest, a beautiful city of over 500,000, located on the shores of Puget Sound between two spectacular mountain ranges. Seattle consistently tops national rankings for livability, for raising children and for the use of technology. A rich variety of outdoor activities, combined with the cultural offerings of a diverse urban area, make the "Emerald City" a wonderful place to call home.
