 Home to Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Boeing and Costco among countless high-tech, medical research and "normal" companies, it has been voted America's most intellectual city. The entire city shares a collective vibe that is casual, educated and forward-thinking.

Fleece jackets outnumber suits, music and book collections are important investments, and second cars are often sea kayaks or mountain bikes, and be sure to travel during the mid or late summer months and early fall for spectacular weather, scenery and sunsets.

Between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, Seattle's technology scene is a major influence on local culture and even when the city is drenched, indoor adventures abound in museums, one of the country's best live music scenes and neighborhood coffee shops.  Seattle hotels are eclectic, luxurious, efficient, or a combination of all three.
