Named after Chief Sealth of the Duwamish and Suquamish tribes, Seattle is a unique blend of trend-setting ideas and al fresco activities. It is the birthplace of designer coffee, grunge music and rock legends. At the same time, it offers a symphony of nearby rain forests, rocky shorelines and whale-populated waters. Diverse in personality, the city speaks to all who come here. Visitors can explore historical landmarks in the morning, kayak in the afternoon and attend the Pacific Northwest Ballet in the evening.
