Seattle

If you find yourself sleepless in Seattle, it might be due to the coffee. Or perhaps it's because you're out listening to the sounds of its distinctive music scene. Maybe it's the sight of Puget Sound and lush surrounding evergreens basking in the glow of a midsummer's 'round midnight twilight that has coaxed you out late into the evening to admire its beauty.

Home to Starbucks and Seattle's Best coffee brands, the birthplace of grunge music and guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, headquarters for computer industry giant Microsoft, greater Seattle is a culturally vibrant, economically thriving and socially engaging region that attracts and welcomes new residents and keeps long-time residents stimulated and involved.
