Pacific Northwest. Located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in King County, of which it is the county seat, and overlooking Elliott Bay, Seattle is nicknamed The Emerald City. The city is a damp green gem, with an abundance of evergreen trees throughout, and spectacular views of the Cascade mountains to the east and the Olympic mountains to the west. The cultural and business center of the Pacific Northwest, the city and its surrounding areas are the home of the Space Needle, Boeing's aircraft assembly plants, Microsoft, Amazon. Costco, Nintendo of America, Starbucks, T- Mobile, and the University of Washington, as well as a vibrant arts and music scene and an excellent park system. Districts[edit]Seattleites usually describe Seattle locations in terms of "neighborhoods." This is partly because of a potentially confusing system of street addresses (see Get around). The breakdown into neighborhoods is informal and mutates over time, and while there are often signs on major arterial roads to let you know that you are "entering" a particular neighborhood, the placement of these signs is arbitrary and occasionally controversial.

S. Culture[edit]Seattle is historically a very diverse city and multiculturalism is seen as a virtue. Discrimination based on race is considered extremely offensive. Locals have long talked of the "Seattle Freeze," referring to the cold politeness of residents.

The theory is that while locals are very polite and warm on first interaction, most residents are also very reserved and interactions rarely lead to real acts of friendship (an invitation to dinner, personal conversations, etc.). For visitors it is best to treat this as shyness- -expect to make all the "first moves" to meet people here. Residents' shyness also extends to anger and annoyance.

Locals often make fun of themselves for their passive aggressive culture, where even in the most upsetting circumstances they will retain their polite nature. Climate[edit]Climate. Daily highs (°F) 4. Nightly lows (°F) 3.

Nonetheless, Seattle is hit by a major snow storm about every 2- 3 years on average, which can paralyze the city’s transportation network (hills and ill- prepared drivers are two commonly cited reasons for such). November is the wettest month, sometimes bringing in fairly intense wind and rain storms, which are often classified as a “Pineapple Express”.

Winds are heavier in the winter than summer, but overall Seattle is not a windy city, adding to the comfort during the summer. The region does feature micro- climates due to the number of hills, mountains, and bodies of water, which can result in significantly different weather conditions over short distances.
