2. Seattle's location
Akademia WSB 2021
Seattle is located between the
saltwater Puget Sound (an arm of the
Pacific Ocean) to the west and Lake
Washington to the east. The city's
chief harbor, Elliott Bay, is part of
Puget Sound, which makes the city
an oceanic port. To the west, beyond
Puget Sound, are the Kitsap
Peninsula and Olympic Mountains on
the Olympic Peninsula; to the east,
beyond Lake Washington and
the Eastside suburbs, are Lake
Sammamish and the Cascade Range.
Lake Washington's waters flow to
Puget Sound through the Lake
Washington Ship Canal (consisting of
two man-made canals, Lake Union,
and the Hiram M. Chittenden
Locks at Salmon Bay, ending
in Shilshole Bay on Puget Sound).

3. Seattle
Seattle was founded by members of the Denny party, most of whom arrived at Alki
Beach on November 13, 1851, and then, in April 1852, relocated to the eastern shore of
Elliott Bay. With the filing of the first plats on May 23, 1853, the "Town of Seattle"
became official.
Seattle is a seaport city on the West Coast of the United States. It is the seat of King
County, Washington. Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and
the Pacific Northwest region of North America. According to U.S. Census data released in
2019, the Seattle metropolitan area's population stands at 3.98 million making it the
15th biggest us city.

said to lie on seven
hills; the lists vary but

Seattle, Beacon Hill,
Queen Anne, Magnolia,
and the former Denny
Hill.

6. Climate and temperature
Akademia WSB 2021
check todays temperature here
Seattle has a temperate climate, classified in the Mediterranean zone by the main climatic
classification but some sources put the city in the oceanic zone. It has cool, wet winters and mild,
relatively dry summers, covering characteristics of both. The climate is sometimes characterized as a
"modified Mediterranean" climate because it is cooler and wetter than a "true" Mediterranean climate,
but shares the characteristic dry summer (which has a strong influence on the region's vegetation).
Temperature during the year varies from 2*C to 23*C

7. Economy of Seattle
Picture: dreamstime.com
Seattle's economy is driven by a mix of older industrial companies,
and "new economy" Internet and technology companies, service,
design, and clean technology companies. The city's gross
metropolitan product (GMP) was $231 billion in 2010, making
it the 11th largest metropolitan economy in the
United States.The Port of Seattle, which also operates Seattle–
Tacoma International Airport, is a major gateway for trade with
Asia and cruises to Alaska.Large companies continue to dominate
the business landscape. Five companies on Fortune
500's 2017 list of the United States' largest companies (based
on total revenue) are headquartered in
Seattle: Internet retailer Amazon.com,
coffee chain Starbucks, department store Nordstrom, forest produc
ts company Weyerhaeuser and freight forwarder Expeditors Intern
ational of Washington

8. Seattles
Nicknames
From 1869 until 1982, Seattle was known as the
"Queen City". Seattle's official nickname is the
"Emerald City", the result of a contest held in
1981; the reference is to the lush evergreen
forests of the area. Seattle is also referred to
informally as the "Gateway to Alaska" for being
the nearest major city in the contiguous U.S. to
Alaska, "Rain City" for its frequent cloudy and
rainy weather, and "Jet City" from the local
influence of Boeing. The city has two official
slogans or mottos: "The City of Flowers", meant
to encourage the planting of flowers to beautify
the city, and "The City of Goodwill", adopted
prior to the 1990 Goodwill Games. Seattle
residents are known as Seattleites.

9. Arts in Seattle
Seattle is a significant center for
the painting, sculpture, textile and studio
glass, alternative, urban art, lowbrow (art
movement) and performing arts. The century-
old Seattle Symphony Orchestra is among the
world's most recorded orchestras. The Seattle
Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet, are
comparably distinguished. On at least two
occasions, Seattle's local popular music scene
has burst into the national and even
international consciousness, first with a major
contribution to garage rock in the mid-1960s,
and later as the home of grunge rock in the
early 1990s. The city has about twenty live
theater venues, and Pioneer Square is one of
the country's most prominent art gallery
districts.

10. Some of the biggest music names
that come from Seattle
1. Jimi Henrix - The Greatest Guitar Player Ever was
born here and cut his teeth (with which he’d later
play that guitar) jamming with local R&B bands.
2. Nirvana - Cobain and company pretty much
invented airwave-ready angst. No band is more
associated with this city.
3. Foo Fighters - Dave Grohl’s major post-Nirvana
band. They aren’t revolutionizing anything, but it’s
nice to have a stalwart.
4. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - their single "Thrift
Shop" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot
100 in 2013. The single was soon dubbed the first
song since 1994 to top the Hot 100 chart without
the support of a major record label by Billboard.
And many more

14. Seattle Pride
"The first Seattle Pride Parade (a march of less than
200 people) took place in 1974, although it wasn’t
officially recognized by the city. Just three years later,
the Parade welcomed 2,000 attendees, and Seattle
Mayor Wes Ulman declared the first “Gay Pride Week.”
In 1992, the Seattle Pride festivities expanded to
include bisexual and transgender identities (LGBT).
Today, the Seattle Pride Parade is the fourth largest in
the country, attracting an estimated 500,000 members
of the LGBTQIA+ community, friends and allies. The
Parade provides our entire community an opportunity
to celebrate the present, envision the future and
honor our past
Over the years, we’ve come to understand that Pride
parades and other celebrations are crucial. But they’re
not enough. We’re continually expanding our advocacy
and allyship efforts year-round to promote diversity
and inclusivity—and to call our community to action."

Built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the 605-foot-
tall Space Needle quickly became an icon of the
city that today is recognized far and wide. On the
observation level, which you can reach via a 43-
second elevator ride, see the doodle-on-a-napkin
concept that led to the Space Needle design.
Views from the top feature Elliott Bay, the
Cascade Mountains, and even Mount Rainier.
Another World’s Fair relic, the Seattle Center
Monorail links Seattle Center—home of the
Space Needle and several other notable
attractions—to downtown’s Westlake Center
along an approximately one-mile route. The
designated historic landmark can reach a top
speed of 45 miles per hour and weaves
between skyscrapers above the city streets.
