One of America's finest cities. Sometimes called the Emerald City. One of America's most educated cities. One of America's most "fit" cities. It is a city with clean air, lakes, mountains, culture, architecture, high-tech jobs and yes, plenty of rain. It lies in the Pacific Northwest along Puget Sound in Western Washington state. Although Seattle is known for having plenty of rain, it doesn't get as much rain as even Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, washington DC or New York. It's just that Seattle's rain is more misty and frequent. Seattle is for coffee lovers and is home to Starbucks and Seattle's Best coffee retailers. Seattle is also home to Amazon.com, COSTCO, Microsoft and Bill Gates. Even though its leading employer, Boeing, packed up and went to Chicago, Boeing still manufactures its aircraft there. Here is what makes Seattle Seattle:
1. Microsoft and Bill Gates and Paul Allen
2. Boeing
3. Amazon.com
4. coffee, especially Starbucks
5. rain
6. the Cascade Mountains and Mount Rainier
7. high-tech jobs
8. culture, especially its large Asian population
9. liberalism
10.homelessness
11.Puget Sound
12.Nordstrom
13.Pike Place Market
14.the Space Needle

Seattle is an awsome example of America's finest cities. Although not without its problems, it is still a great place to be. There is much more to like than dislike about this place.

The best city on the West (best) coast. Everywhere off the w coast is crazy and I never leave it anymore unless I'm leaving the country or going to Canada. Seattle is the best of all worlds. lots of culture and diversity. Alot like San Francisco or Vancouver. Only problem is everything smells like piss there in summer there. Way, way, way too many homeless people.
Austin, TX & Halifax, NS only wish they were Seattle. You never get bored in Seattle unless your boring. Austin & Halifax bored me and all my freids within 3 days.

Nicknamed the Emerald City, Seattle is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. Located in the northwest corner of the US in Washington State, Seattle resides along Pudget Sound.
Seattle is home to a crowd centered on culture, technology, and is one of the more Liberal cities of the United States.
One of the major traders with Japan, Seattle harbors a large amount of Asian culture which has spread into its technological areas (Boeing, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc).
Seattle has also been titled the country's video-game central. Home to both Microsoft Game Studios, half of Nintendo, and famous producers such as Bungie, Valve Software, and even the mass-popular Penny Arcade, Seattle has risen to the top in popularity among young game-pioneers. It supports massive conventions such as the Northwest Comic Con, PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), the World Cyber Games Championship, and Anime North.
Aside from its gaming success, Seattle also is home to Boeing, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, as well as the largest building on Earth.
Other attractions Seattle has to offer is the ever-growing Pike Place Market, a cultural mainframe for the city, multiple Naval and Air Force bases, a heavy influence in politics, and a large Liberal society.

The best city on planet earth. Seattle, and basicly all the suberbian areas around it, are the main engine of Washington, the Inland Northwest, and the world. Think about it, theres Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, Costco, Nordstrom, Nintendo, Bungie (They make the Halo video games) and so many more big companies. It is Americas god (besides Washington D.C.). If you don't live in the Seattle area (Such as me, I'm stuck in retarded Spokane, WA 300 miles away) you should jump off a cliff (well, don't really do that).
Man 1: Hey, Spokane is the greatest town on earth!
Man 2: Are you on fucking meth??? Seattle rules you dipshit.

The most beautiful city in the world. Possesses an atmosphere of environmental consciousness, acceptance and free thinking. One of the few places where so many diverse groups can coexist. Always funky little coffee shops and stores.
Tons of water.
Tons of green.
Tons of music, poetry, art and philosophy.
Tons of educated, literate people.
Tons of motivated and involved teens.
Tons of pride in the people who live there.
