Car Hire Seattle : Introduction
Car Hire Seattle is
the largest city in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located
in the U.S. state of Washington between Puget Sound and Lake washington, about 96
miles south of the United States?Canadian border in King County, of which it is
the county seat.
Car Hire Seattle is
the hub for the Greater Puget Sound region. Its official nickname is the Emerald
City, the result of a contest by a civic-minded association in the early 1980s to
designate a pleasant nickname for the city; the name alludes to the lush evergreen
trees in the surrounding area. It is also referred to informally as the Gateway
to Alaska, Queen City, and Jet City, due to the local influence of Boeing. Residents
of Seattle are known as Seattleites.
Seattle is often regarded as the birthplace of grunge music, and has a reputation
for heavy coffee consumption; coffee companies founded in Seattle include Starbucks,
Seattle's Best Coffee, and Tully's.

Car Hire Seattle has
many successful independent artisanal espresso roasters and cafes. Seattle was the
site of the 1999 meeting of the World Trade Organization, and the attendant demonstrations
by anti-globalization activists. The topography of Downtown has been reshaped by
regrading projects, a seawall, and the construction of an artificial island, Harbor
Island, at the mouth of the city's industrial Duwamish Waterway.
