Well Toto, it looks like we are not in Kansas anymore, and it seems we've arrived in the Emerald City. In addition to your new brain, heart and courage, you'll soon become tech-savvy, over-caffeinated and learn to love the rain – you might even dance in it on occasion. Speaking of caffeine, welcome to coffee city – let's get you acquainted with your new hangout spots. You've got the original Starbucks so that's pretty cool, but you also have boutique spots like Victrola Coffee and Neptune Coffee, where you can meet new people or just hunker down with your latte and laptop.
Technology is the dominant industry in this city, so it's totally acceptable to unleash your inner geek here. In fact, it's cool to be a nerd in Seattle. But if you want to be the next Kurt Cobain or Macklemore, that works, too. Seattle is known for being a particularly open and accepting place to reside, particularly with regard to the gay community. Whoever you are and whatever you do, what you'll love most about Seattle is how easy is it to escape to the mountains and the ocean for a weekend getaway. The proximity to the natural beauty that surrounds Seattle makes it a particularly desirable place. First stop when you get home? Dick's Drive In, a classic Seattle burger joint, followed by Molly Moon's Ice Cream. Now click your heels – scratch that – your rainboots three times, and let's find your new apartment in Oz town.
The Seattle employment outlook is a combination of classic industry and internet-tech companies of the new economy. The Port of Seattle is the 8th largest in the country, and a major gateway for trade with Asia and cruises to Alaska. Freight forwarder Expeditors International is still in the Fortune 500, as well as Seattle-based Starbucks. The financial sector includes prominent players such as Capital One and conglomerate Vulcan Inc. Meanwhile, the startup hotbed is cooking, ignited by the wild success of companies like Amazon.com, Allrecipes.com, Classmates.com, WhitePages.com, and Zillow.com. The video game industry is booming, thanks to Arenanet, Big Fish Games, PopCap, and Sucker Punch Productions. There are also supercomputers are being built at Cray Inc., and a growing biotech field with companies such as Juno Therapeutics, Kineta, Seattle Genetics, and ZymoGenetics.

Seattle residents appreciate the city's vibrant cultural scene, with an abundance of music, art, and dining options. Many enjoy the proximity to nature, whether it's hiking in nearby parks or taking in views of the water and mountains. The availability of public transportation is also seen as a plus for getting around. However, parking can be a challenge in some neighborhoods, and complaints about the high cost of living are common among renters. Overall, the diverse atmosphere and varied amenities make it an appealing place to live, despite some of its drawbacks.
