De stad zelf telde in 2013 ongeveer 650.000 inwoners en kwam daarmee op de 22ste plaats in de USA. De stad is gelegen op een landengte en grenst in het westen aan de Puget Sound en de Elliott Bay en in het oosten aan Lake Washington. Net als Rome is de stad op 7 heuvels gebouwd. Al meer dan 4000 jaar wonen er mensen in dit gebied. Eerste bewoners waren indianenstammen, de Suquamish en Duwanish. In de jaren 1800 was hun opperhoofd chief Sealth of Seath. Het is naar hem dat de stad vernoemd werd. De eerste Europeaan die de plek bezocht waar Seattle ligt, was George Vancouver in 1792. Later bereikte de Denny Party deze plaats. Zij waren via het Oregon Trail naar het westen getrokken maar besloten nog wat verder te trekken. In 1852 stichtten zij de stad Seattle. De eerste trein kwam aan in 1893. Seattle was tot in de jaren 1980 een ‘secondary’ US stad. Daar kwam verandering in toen enkele grote bedrijven er zich gingen vestigen. De technologische sector en de muziekscene deden de stad opleven. Onder andere Amazon en Starbucks hebben hun hoofdkantoren in de stad. Net buiten de stad in Everett ligt de Boeing fabriek en in Redmond het hoofdkwartier van Microsoft. De haven van Seattle is uitgegroeid tot de op zeven na grootste haven van de Verenigde Staten. http://www.visitseattle.org o Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Factory Tour http://www.boeing.com/company/tours/ - http://www.futureofflight.org 8415 Paine Field Blvd • Mukilteo, WA 98275 Wegbeschrijving: I-5 North, exit 189, na het Boeing assemblagegebouw linksaf aan de lichten kruispunt Highway 526 en 84th St. SW en Paine Field Blvd. De inrit ligt dan aan je linker kant.

  • Greeting Cards, Postcards, Notepads, Magnets and More
    iambibby catalog 2019 artwork by Christopher bibby Hello and welcome to our 2019 catalog! We design affordable, locally made, high quality greeting cards, postcards, notepads, magnets and more. All of our products feature the art and imagery of Oregon artist Christopher Bibby. Chris’s art acts as a powerful reminder of the beauty of nature. Our goal at iambibby is to help people connect to and share this beauty with each other through our functional, unique products. We also offer journals, calendars, stickers and coasters made by responsible partners in California and china. Christopher’s story My career as an artist began in Glasgow, Scotland in 1997. I was a shy 20 year old boy living on my sister’s couch, working in a coffee shop in the artsy west-end of town. A co-worker saw some of the sketches I had done of Glasgow and said I could help her paint some signs at a local restaurant. I was terrified but went along and did my best. It ended up being a turning point in my life. For two weeks I was paid to draw and paint. It felt like a miracle. This experience led to an epiphany in the form of a question: “What if I could get paid to learn how to paint?” Back at the coffee shop this question consumed me for a week and then compelled me to quit my job. I had no money, no connections, no experience, no materials and no plan but I did have a dream. That dream made a lot more sense to me than my current path of drifting from job to job without true purpose.

Local’s Damian Magista the hipsters, the hikers, the artists and – perhaps gathering most momentum – the foodies. This leafy metropolis has become THE place to eat – a culinary hotspot, thanks largely to its location in bountiful northern Oregon. The state’s wet winters and balmy summers nurture a boggling variety of produce, including meat and crops from the rugged plains out east, and ample seafood from the Pacific to the west. What doesn’t grow here, friendly neighbour California generously supplies. It’s no surprise that chefs and producers are heading to Portland to make their mark. It’s like a throwback to the pioneering spirit of the Oregon Trail era, when Americans packed their covered wagons and rolled on out here in search of greener pastures. These days, the wagons have given way to food trucks, now numbering more than 600, and the burgeoning street-food scene is now embraced as part of the city’s culture.

The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.
