Nestled between the shores of Puget Sound and Lake Washington is Seattle, Washington, one of the country’s most beautiful cities. Flanked by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, Seattle offers a wealth of opportunities for people who crave diversity: there are year-round outdoor activities, unique cultural experiences, and more.
Seattle is only about an hour or two away from pristine ski slopes, secluded islands, Pacific Ocean beaches, major rivers and remote wilderness. Complementing the local natural beauty is a mild climate that produces less annual rainfall than New York City.
Seattle offers a wonderfully varied and vibrant selection of cultural and recreational opportunities to entice visitors and residents alike. Seattle boasts two great neighboring communities – Fremont and Ballard. Snoqualmie Valley is nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and new home constructions are booming because the valley maintains a rural feel, full of beautiful golf courses.
