Washington State brings together the best of both worlds. 60 percent of our state’s population lives in the Greater Seattle Area, leaving the remainder of our mountain ranges, rain forests, and shoreline nearly untouched. The result is a perfect combination of a cultural and economic center with pristine natural beauty.
Culture
Seattle's waterfront
Washington’s vibrant high-tech economy has created a thriving, multicultural environment that offers a fantastic blend of language, culture, food, and entertainment. Its fantastic and well-preserved natural beauty offer hundreds of outdoor, recreational and educational opportunities. From a visit to the Yakama Nation Museum, to the panoramic views from Mount Rainier and Mount Si, to taking in a Seattle Seahawks or Mariners game, Washington State has something for everyone.
Tacoma, Washington and Mount Rainier
For entertainment, it’s tough to beat Seattle, home of the Seattle Repertory Theatre, Seattle Opera, Pacific Northwest Ballet and, every year, the site of the legendary Northwest Folklife Festival and Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Music and Arts Festival. Seattle also hosts dozens of arts-related festivals, including the world-renowned Seattle International Film Festival. Outside of Seattle, the rest of the state offers a host of other options, including the acclaimed Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival, the Spokane Symphony, and Spokane’s historic Fox Theater.
Weather
Washington’s climate varies greatly from west to east. A mild, humid climate predominates in the western part of the state, and a cooler dry climate prevails east of the Cascade Range. In the Seattle area, the Summer average high temperature is 75 degrees, and the average winter low temperature is 36 degrees. Weather in the west is fairly wet, while eastern areas can receive quite a bit of snow.
Real Estate
The Washington area real estate market is every bit as varied as its residents and geography. From starter homes to retirement communities, rental properties to 20-bedroom waterfront mansions, Washington has something for everyone.
