Why The Northwest?

Innovation comes naturally.

Seattle and King County are known as an understated hub of innovation, that quiet being occasionally broken by our famous rock bands and the roar of Boeing jets. But from the very start, this region has always inspired new thinking and world-changing ideas.

A history of innovation.

From the invention of modern aviation to modern computing to the world’s first espresso cart, the Seattle area has been home to some of the world’s most groundbreaking ideas. This region has always nurtured and supported new thinkers. In fact, our constant stream of innovative ideas is a source of pride among the people who live here.

Beautiful surroundings.

Nestled between two mountain ranges along picturesque Puget Sound, King County is one of the best places to live in the world, especially for those who love the outdoors. Though the Seattle area has a reputation for rain, we actually receive less rain than Boston, New York, and Chicago. This region also offers wonderful work/life balance, with more arts per capita than anywhere else in the country, hundreds of miles of walking, hiking, and biking trails, plus easy access to winter skiing and summer recreation. No wonder this is a place where so many workers choose to put down roots and raise a family.
