Contrary to popular belief, Seattle is not the rainiest U.S. city (it ranks a lowly 44th in terms of rainfall). And while it may be home to Starbucks and Microsoft, it’s more than coffee and computer bytes too – the city is also rich in arts, recreation, shopping, and restaurants.
For coffee culture, cutting-edge architecture, and a nature-meets-steel setting that feels like a low-key version of San Francisco.
