About Seattle

Seattle isn’t just where you do your residency, it’s where you live your best life. Nestled between the snowcapped Cascades and the rugged Olympics, with Puget Sound at your feet and Mt. Rainier towering on the horizon, every day here feels like a postcard. And despite its reputation, Seattle gets less rain than New York or Boston, so yes, you can actually enjoy that craft latte outside.

Your days off? Endless options. Paddleboard on Lake Union before brunch in Capitol Hill. Hit a Mariners game or hike a waterfall trail just 30 minutes from downtown. Ski in the morning, sip oysters at a waterfront happy hour by night. In summer, rooftop bars and music festivals keep the city buzzing; in winter, cozy speakeasies and indie film nights keep it lively.

Seattle’s food scene is legendary, think fresh caught salmon, world-class sushi, late night dumplings in the International District, and farmers markets overflowing with PNW produce. Pair that with a craft beer, cider, or cocktail from one of the city’s hundreds of breweries and bars, and you’ll understand why locals never leave.

Culture here is everywhere, live music, pop-up art shows, museums, and neighborhoods with their own unique vibe. And when you want to get away, ferries, mountains, islands, and even Canada are just a short trip away.

In short: Seattle is natural beauty, big-city energy, and endless adventure rolled into one. Perfect for a few years in residency… or the rest of your life.
