Seattle, the largest city on the West Coast of the United States, is the biggest city in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Puget Sound in Washington State and Lake Washington. It's the center of commerce and culture in the Northwest, and a major tourist and trade port city connecting the Pacific Ocean and Europe.
The scenery here is beautiful, with the highest volcano in the United States—Mount Rainier—seen in the distance. The city has a typical maritime climate and experiences a lot of rain, earning it the nickname Rain City, and it also has the commendatory title of the Emerald City.
