About Seattle, WA

Located along the Puget Sound in the shadow of Mount Rainier, Seattle is known as both the "Emerald City" and the "Star of the Pacific Northwest." The fashionable locale offers a hip, urban environment influenced by outdoor style and activities. Once a thriving port town that served the timber industry, Seattle is famous these days for coffee and microchips. When you visit, make sure not to miss the Space Needle or Pike Place Market. It's even likely that rainy days won't dampen your fun when you sightsee, shop, and sample exceptional foods in this vibrant city. Seattle, after all, is young at heart and still defining itself as the young are wont to do.
Seattle, WA Factoid
Hangovers had nothing to do with the naming of Seattle's Skid Road. Yesler Way got its nickname in the 19th century when greased logs were laid across the steep road so trees cut from nearby forests could be rolled to a waterfront sawmill.
