Moving to Seattle?
What's the first thing you think of when you think of moving to Seattle? The Space Needle, coffee, grunge rock, flying fish, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks? Whatever you think of, it's sure to be good. With over 608,000 residents, it is the largest city in Washington State and has tons of cultural, outdoor, historical and dining experiences to offer its residents. What making moving to Seattle so great?

Moving to Seattle for Employment?
If you're moving to Seattle for work, you won't be the only one. The city is the home of at least six Fortune 500 Companies - namely Washington Mutual, Amazon.com, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Safeco Corporation, and Expeditors International. And that makes sense since Seattle tied with Minneapolis as the most educated city in the United States in a 2008 research study by Connecticut State University.

Moving to Seattle for the weather?
Seattle is known for mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Be sure and pack your umbrella, because Seattle experiences about 150 days of precipitation each year. However, the rainy reputation is more about the frequency of the precipitation than the quantity. In terms of rainfall, Seattle isn’t even one of the top 10 rainiest cities in the country.

Moving to Seattle for the landmarks?
Seattle is known for many special buildings. The Space Needle is the most recognizable. You will have seen it on Grey’s Anatomy, Frasier, Twilight, iCarly, and Sleepless in Seattle. Perhaps you have seen the iconic Pike’s Place Market on television, or the Seattle Great Wheel (the tallest ferris wheel on the west coast and the only one built over water!). The Seattle Central Library is also a unique building with over 11 stories of glass and steel coming together to create the interesting architecture.

Moving to Seattle for education?
If you are seeking higher education after moving to Seattle, you are in luck! The University of Washington, Seattle University, and more are located in the area. There are also many arts colleges including Cornish College of the Arts and The Art Institute of Seattle if you want to pursue the arts. Seattle Central Community College was named community college of the year if a smaller school is more your type. If you are moving to Seattle with children, they will attend Seattle Public Schools, which serves over 47,000 students in 91 schools. The school district is known for winning many awards for improvements, awesome teachers, extracurricular activities, and test scores. Your student will love learning here!
