"Seattle is the seat of King County, Washington, United States. It is a city by the sea with a population of about 737,015, the largest in Washington. It is also the northernmost city in the country and is only about 160 kilometers away from the southern part of the Canadian border. It has a total area of 142.07 square miles, with 58.08 square miles of it being water.

Seattle had its incorporation as a city on December 2, 1869. Its name was derived from “Chief Si’ahl,” the slaveholder of the initial indigenous settlers in the area. Since it is a seaport city, Seattle provides essential access for trade with Asia. It initially flourished in the logging industry but has experienced numerous economic ups and downs for the next decades, such as during the Klondike Gold Rush and founding a Boeing factory."
