Seattle: Pacific Northwest Metropolis on Puget Sound
Seattle sits on an isthmus between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Cascade Range to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west. On clear days Mount Rainier dominates the southern horizon at 14,411 feet. The city grew from a timber port in the 1850s into the largest metropolitan area in the Pacific Northwest, with a population of roughly 737,000 inside city limits and more than four million across the broader Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue statistical area.
The corporate footprint is concentrated and globally recognized. Amazon's headquarters occupies dozens of buildings in the South Lake Union neighborhood, including the Spheres conservatory. Microsoft is based across Lake Washington in Redmond but maintains a significant Seattle presence. Boeing assembles 737s in Renton and 747, 767, and 777 aircraft in Everett, while its corporate footprint spans the region. Starbucks runs its global operations from a former Sears building in SoDo, and the first Starbucks store opened at Pike Place Market in 1971.
Pike Place Market has operated since 1907, covering nine acres on the downtown waterfront. The fishmongers at Pike Place Fish Market throw salmon across the counter as a tourist spectacle. The Space Needle, built for the 1962 World's Fair, stands 605 feet high at Seattle Center, alongside the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit by Tacoma native Dale Chihuly. The University of Washington's main campus enrolls about 47,000 students, and Husky Stadium overlooks Lake Washington with a view of the Cascades beyond the scoreboard.
