About Seattle

Seattle is a Pacific Northwest port city between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Space Needle, a harbour market and Mount Rainier on the horizon.

Seattle fills the narrow land between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Olympic Mountains to the west and Mount Rainier to the south-east on clear days. The Space Needle, built for the 1962 World's Fair, stands in Seattle Center beside the Museum of Pop Culture. Pike Place Market, open since 1907, overlooks the waterfront with fish stalls, flower sellers and crafts.
