Seattle, WA
Seattle is easily one of the best-kept secrets in the United States.
Seattle is a center for business, culture, and transportation without the frenzied pace of big cities like Chicago, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. It is rapidly becoming a center for technology, with the corporate offices of Microsoft, Amazon.com and Nintendo all located in the greater Seattle area.
Surrounded on all sides by pristine water and majestic mountain ranges, no matter where you look you'll be presented with stunning views of man-made and natural wonder. For instance, views of Mt. Rainier a little over 200 miles away remind you of the many outdoor activities Seattle is famous for, while you also keeping the downtown skyscrapers within view.
Throw in the fact that, despite popular myth, Seattle actually has better weather than many major cities on the east coast, and you'll discover why more than half a million come home to this city each year. |
