SEATTLE, WA

Seattle is the largest city by population in the U.S state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The encompassing Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan statistical area is the 15th largest in the United States. A port city, it is located the western part of the state between Puget Sound, an arm of the Pacific Ocean, and Lake Washington about 96 miles (154 km) south of the Canada – United States border. A major economic, cultural and educational center in the region, Seattle is the county seat of King County.

The Seattle area has been inhabited for at least 4,000 years, but European settlement began only in the mid-19th century. The first permanent white settlers—Arthur A. Denny and those subsequently known as the Denny Party—arrived November 13, 1851. Early settlements in the area were called "New York-Alki" ("Alki" meaning "by and by" in the local Chinook Jargon) and "Duwamps." In 1853, Doc Maynard suggested that the main settlement be renamed "Seattle," an anglicized rendition of the name of Sealth, the chief of the two local tribes.
