Seattle; Why we love it !

Seattle combines a beautiful natural setting formed by mountains, fresh water lakes, and sparkling salt water bays,complete with an energetic metropolitan city with world class entertainment, arts and cuisine We boast a mild climate, that lends itself to being "outside"
We ski in the winter and hike in the summer, and boat anytime we can ! We are second only to Hong Kong for boats per capita.

We abound with wonderful Art galleries, Our Seattle Art museum has two locations, one in the heart of Downtown with great permanent collections and awe inspiring traveling shows. The second site has a breathtaking Asian Gallery with a fantastic collection. The art community is well represented by hundreds of galleries that show everything from photography
to textiles to fine art.

Seattle is the most literate city in the country, sharing the title back and forth with Minneapolis.
We have lots of independent bookstores and we use them ! We Seattleites do love to read !

According to the US census Seattle is the smartest city in the US. 52.8% of the population has at least a bachelors degree. We have the tenth highest income in the country.

Seattle doesn't just sit and read, we are the seventh fittest city. Hiking running skiing yogi and a lovely long walk along the beach, keep us active.

We do enjoy our many wineries and micro breweries, as we are the 13th highest in alcohol consumption. could be why we have a life expectancy of 78.2 years old , or we just love to party!

Surprisingly we only have a average rainfall of 35 inches per year, less than New York City or Miami. The reason for our rainy city reputation it just takes a long time to fall, just a nice steady rain, no hard furious rains. We just do what ever we want and ignore the rain, it won't hurt you !

The climate is mild , a high of 75 degrees in July, and it only freeezes an average of 15 days a year. It makes for lush green vegetaion with abundant flowers and trees and ferns. a real wonderland .

The mild climate and the verdant abundance could be one reason that Seattle has been a settlement for over 4000 years. It has only been populated by Europeans since the mid-ninteenth century.

Come see us , you will love it and we welcome everyone , our population is diverse, a grand melting pot of people from all over the world. This makes for festivals all year long be it a Greek
Festival or Bon Odori, with beautiful dancers and great food. We are all encouraged to enjoy.
The Chinese New Year , its famous dragon dances are not to be missed. Watch monks make their famous sandpaintings or watch the Highland Games. there is always something to do.

Seattle is beautiful, entertaining , cultured and lots and lots of fun !! Come be in on it ! Ewing and Clark is the oldest real estate firm in the state , and we know Seattle we can help you find a home to suit your dreams.
