SHOW PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Beyond the café culture and burgeoning business opportunities, this city’s spectacular setting, perched on protectedPuget Sound, is reason enough to pack up and head to Seattle.

Here, more than anywhere else in the world, the forefronts of technology and urban culture stand arm in arm withdramatic coastline and high alpine terrain.

The climate and style are decidedly comfortable. Seattle actually gets less rain per year than New York, Chicago,Miami, or Atlanta. Winters are mild and summers are perfection, with persistent blue skies and temperatures thatmake air conditioning unnecessary. The mild climate also makes activities like golfing, fishing, whale watching, andhiking possible year round.

Shopping in Seattle rivals most large cities. Small designer boutiques coexist with big retailers like Nordstrom andBon Marché, and with sleek malls like Pacific Place. The famed Pike Place Market is a bazaar of fresh seafood, fruit,vegetables, flowers, ethnic eateries and specialty shops amid a menagerie of artists and street performers.

Area restaurants are always innovating to keep pace with the city itself.

In many ways, Seattle is a futuristic city, for it embodies the idea that we can balance economic vitality with environ-mental sensitivity, high technology with simple pleasures and urban convenience with outdoor adventure. Comeexplore the contrasting thrills of this metropolitan playground on the edge of the wilderness.
