Seattle is placed in a beautiful setting, surrounded by Elliot Bay and Mount Washington and Rainier, with evergreen forests just outside its city boundaries. Its modern skyline, the product of 30 years of uncompromising urban renewal, shines on the bay. The “Emerald City” has constantly been voted the best place to live and work in the United States. Seattle’s Pacific Rim location makes it a natural hub for business and cultural activity within the Asia/Pacific region, due to its closeness to Asia and cosmopolitan population. Contrary to popular belief, the average yearly rainfall of the city is only 36 inches, much lower than New York’s or Atlanta’s.

Downtown Seattle covers about 1.7 square miles. Besides stunning views of Elliott Bay, it boasts towering offices, a revitalized shopping district of about 16 city blocks and entertainment outlets that keep it active into the evenings and weekends.

The downtown waterfront, dotted with piers, offers stunning views of Elliott Bay and, on clear days, the Olympic Mountains. The area includes restaurants, offices and such destinations as the Seattle Aquarium and the Bell Street Pier cruise ship terminal. The Port of Seattle has its headquarters at Pier 69. Pier 70, next door, was converted into high-tech office space after hosting MTV’s “Real World” during the show’s Seattle season.

There are many incredible condominiums that are in Downtown Seattle, plus many other interesting buildings being erected in the downtown area.
