Seattle Background

Seattle, Washington is the county seat of King County, in the incorporated western half of the county. Seattle is Washington State’s largest city, the northernmost major city in the contiguous United States, and the largest city in the entire Pacific Northwest. Because of Seattle’s unique place on a narrow isthmus between the Pacific Ocean via Puget Sound and Lake Washington, Seattle is a major seaport. The Port of Seattle is the 8th largest port in the United States in terms of container capacity. The Port’s major ranking comes from being a major gateway to Asian trade. The popular Alaskan cruises also emanate from Seattle.

Seattle, WA is the major economic, cultural, and educational center of this region. The 2009 U.S. Census population estimate for Seattle, Washington is 616,627 (part of the Seattle–Tacoma–Bellevue Metropolitan Statistical Area total of 3.4 million residents). Seattle is the center of the Seattle–Tacoma–Bellevue metropolitan statistical area, the 15th largest MSA in the United States.
