HISTORY
Englishman George Vancouver mapped the area in the 1790s, but the first white settlers didn't arrive until 1851. Luther Collins led a party of settlers to the mouth of the Duwamish River (in what is today southern Seattle), followed shortly by a party led by the more notable Arthur A. Denny of Chicago, who settled at Alki Point in West Seattle. Confrontations between the original settlers initially flared, only to die out as the groups settled together on the Elliott Bay. The area was then named Seattle by David Maynard, in honor of Chief Si'ahl of the Duwamish & Suquamish tribes, and later officially established as a city in 1869.

Seattle is a West Coast seaport city and the seat of King County. With an estimated 662,400 residents as of 2015,[2] Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America, and, as of July 2013, is the fastest-growing major city in the United States.[6] The Seattle metropolitan area of around 3.6 million inhabitants is the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States.[7] The city is situated on a narrow isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the 8th largest port in the United States and 9th largest in North America in terms of container handling.[8]
The Seattle area was previously inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers.[9] Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived from Illinois via Portland, Oregon on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13, 1851.[10] The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay and named Seattle in 1852, after Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes.
Logging was Seattle's first major industry, but by the late 19th century the city had become a commercial and shipbuilding center as a gateway to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush. By 1910, Seattle was one of the 25 largest cities in the country.[11] However, the Great Depression severely damaged the city's economy. Growth returned during and after World War II, due partially to the local Boeing company, which established Seattle as a center for aircraft manufacturing. The Seattle area developed as a technology center beginning in the 1980s, with companies like Microsoft becoming established in the region. In 1994 the Internet retail giant Amazon was founded in Seattle. The stream of new software, biotechnology, and Internet companies led to an economic revival, which increased the city's population by almost 50,000 between 1990 and 2000.
Seattle has a noteworthy musical history. From 1918 to 1951, there were nearly two dozen jazz nightclubs along Jackson Street, from the current Chinatown/International District, to the Central District. The jazz scene developed the early careers of Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Ernestine Anderson and others. Seattle is also the birthplace of rock musician Jimi Hendrix and the alternative rock style grunge.[12]

A CITY WITHIN A FOREST, SEATTLE, TACOMA WASHINGTON, USA
The Pacific Northwest includes several states and all are filled with natural beauty. But the region of Western Washington state has two large cities which are, in essence, one city called Seattle, Tacoma. This city is located within a forest of cedar trees that date back many years. Chief Seattle was an Indian chief who negotiated with white settlers in the 1800's, from which the name of the city comes. His Suquamish Tribe dominated the region and hunted in these vasts forests as well as fished in the Pacific Ocean and what is today called the Puget Sound waters next to the city.

Seattle ist die größte Stadt im Nordwesten der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie ist der Verwaltungssitz des King County im US-Bundesstaat Washington und liegt zwischen dem Puget Sound und dem Lake Washington, etwa 155 km südlich der Grenze zu Kanada. Neben Vancouver und Portland ist Seattle der Verkehrsknotenpunkt und das wirtschaftliche, wissenschaftliche und kulturelle Zentrum der Region Pazifischer Nordwesten. Die Stadt trägt die Beinamen The Emerald City („Die Smaragdstadt“), was eine Anspielung auf das viele Grün im Stadtgebiet und die großen Wälder ist (sie wird von den einheimischen allerdings fast nie so bezeichnet), und Rain City – obwohl der Niederschlag geringer ist als in vielen anderen amerikanischen Städten. Der Spitzname kommt von den vielen wolkenreichen und regnerischen Tagen im Jahr. Von den Einheimischen wird sie auch als Jet City bezeichnet, was eine Anspielung auf die nahe gelegenen Boeingwerke ist. Der Hafen von Seattle ist ein bedeutender Handelsknotenpunkt für den Handel mit Asien, Alaska und Hawaii. Die wichtigsten ansässigen Industrien sind die Luft- und Raumfahrt (Boeing), Eisen- und Stahlindustrie sowie die Holzverarbeitung. Als bauliches Wahrzeichen von Seattle gilt der für die Weltausstellung 1962 errichtete Turm Space Needle. Die Stadt ist Sitz einer renommierten Universität, der University of Washington. Die Stadt wurde benannt nach Noah Sealth, Häuptling der Duwamish und Suquamish, besser bekannt unter dem Namen Häuptling Seattle.
