2024 Seattle
Highlights
Seattle is a friendly city that welcomes and celebrates diversity. It has a culture that has shaped some of the world's most innovative companies, its music has inspired a generation of fans and its food and drink scene rivals any in the world.
Mountains to Sounds is a popular phrase in Seattle. Nestled on the shores of Puget Sound, surrounded by the Olympic Mountains to the West and Cascade Mountains to the East, and safeguarded by Mt. Rainier, Seattle's landscape is majestic to say the least, which earned it the nickname the 'Emerald City'.
