Seattle Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Ideally located in the green enclave of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is surrounded by mountains, evergreen forests, Lake Washington, and the Puget Sound. An outdoorsman's gateway, in other words. In recent years, however, Seattle has become one of the more popular metropolitan areas in the U.S., so load up on caffeine—Starbucks is headquartered here—and get ready to enjoy a city buzzing with family delights.
