Seattle’s nickname, “The Emerald City,” isn’t significant just because there are lots of trees, but because it’s a city that doesn’t stop. To choose Washington is to choose Seattle, a city in which you can satisfy most any food craving, indulge most any pastime. From the four professional sports teams to the ten major art and cultural heritage museums to the eighty-five theatre companies and eighty live music clubs, there is something for everyone.
More people in Seattle commute to work via bicycle than any other city in the United States.
