As you might expect from an eco-conscious city with over 500 acres of parkland, Seattle offers superior walkability and strives for sustainability. The earth-friendly attitude of this port city can also be seen in the local food scene, as appetites are spoiled with fresh seafood as well as organic fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices for some of the world's best culinary influences, including popular American comfort foods.

 

Seven Hills of Seattle

While many home buyers are sure to love Seattle Washington, there are some who might find such a culturally rich and intellectually stimulating location to be somewhat overwhelming.
