Home to a large tech industry including Microsoft and Amazon, Seattle's residents enjoy all the benefits of big‑city living along with the opportunity to experience the beauty of Mother Nature, fueled by its rainy climate. Surrounded by water, mountains and evergreen forests, Seattle is known as one of the fittest cities in the U.S., especially for walkers and bikers, and its location makes it a mecca for all water sports. With its vast selection of activities geared for both children and their parents, Seattle is an excellent place to raise a family. Seattle Public Schools provide a quality education to more than 50,000 students in almost 100 schools across Seattle's neighborhoods. The most popular neighborhoods in Seattle feature high‑end single‑family homes, and many residents choose to buy in more affordable outlying areas.

Seattle's climate is oceanic, with cool, wet winters and mild, relatively dry summers.
