Why Would Anyone Want to Move to Seattle? Here’s Why!

Apr 26th, 2009

One of the most popular cities in America is tucked up in the northwest corner of Washington State. Close to the ocean, close to the mountains, and close to Canada, Seattle is not only a good place to visit, but you might want to live there. A great attraction of this city is the Seattle Architect. Residential Architects Seattle have imagined into reality a city of unique neighborhoods unlike the façade in the front/barracks in the back McMansions found in the Midwest. Walls of glass bring the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains into the homes of the citizens fortunate enough to call this city home.

The unique architecture of the city becomes obvious immediately as the traveler approaches the city by air. Seattle’s uniqueness can be seen in her most famous landmark, the Space Needle. The Space Needle was conceptualized with the Stuttgart Tower in Germany as a guide by Edward E. Carlson for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. The concept for this fair was Century 21. And here we are in Century 21, and the Space Needle is still a modernistic symbol for a modern city. Still today, it brings in tourists by the thousands. That is, on the days it’s not closed due to climate conditions.

And speaking of weather, Seattle has a climate as distinctive as the city itself. If you want to bathe in the hot, dry sun, go to Los Angeles. But if you are looking for a cool, damp climate, and comfortable summers, Seattle is the place for you. an average summer day is in the 70s, and a normal winter day is in the 30s. What you’ve heard about the rain in Seattle is true. It does rain a lot. normal rainfall in Seattle is somewhere close to 37 inches per year. However, this rain is normally no more than a light drizzle. Seattle also is known for gloomy skies. This reputation is can’t be denied. Whereas, in the Northeast, when the rain stops, the sky clears, in the Northwest, the skies remain gray when the rain stops. Winter is the rainiest time of the year, with the rainy season beginning around the First of October.

Over the years, Seattle has provided a living for its inhabitants in a number of different ways that evolved following the evolution of the country as a whole. In the early days, lumber was the big business. This was followed in the second half of the Nineteenth Century by the Klondike Gold Rush. Seattle was the major source of supplies for the Gold Rush in Alaska and the Yukon. During this time, gold wasn’t the direct source of wealth for Seattlites. It was the clothing industry and the salmon industry. Later, as the Twentieth Century progressedinto the Mid-Twentieth Century, the boom in Seattle was fueled by the aircraft industry and, going back to that old saying about all work and no play. Seattle is also a mecca for cultural activities that appeal to the entire spectrum of music lovers. One end of the spectrum has the Seattle Symphony, the opera, and the ballet. At the other end is the grunge music of such artists as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sound garden, Alice in Chains, and Mud honey.
