Seattle (pronounced /siːˈætɫ̩/ ( listen) see-AT-əl or /siːˈæɾɫ̩/) is the county seat of King County, in the U.S. state of Washington. With 608,660 residents as of the 2010 Census, Seattle is the largest city in the Northwestern United States. The Seattle metropolitan area of about 3.4 million inhabitants is the 15th largest metropolitan area in the country. The city is a major coastal seaport situated on a narrow isthmus between Puget Sound (an arm of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 114 miles (183 km) south of the Canada–United States border. In 2010, Seattle was the sixth busiest port in the United States, serving as a major gateway for trade with Asia.
The Seattle area had been inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent white settlers.Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived at Alki Point on November 13, 1851. The settlement was moved to its current site and renamed "Seattle" in 1853, after Chief Seattle of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes.
A few words of advice for you
Always live your life with good intentions
Laugh as much as you breathe
And always love as long as you live
Cause nobody can go back in time
And try to make a new beginning
But if you start with today
You can make a better ending for yourself
Did you know
You can live out all your dreams
If you just set your mind to it
You can leave your doubters wondering
Why they didn't see this coming
And how you managed to
Rise above the rest
It's not about where you've been
It's where you want to be
It's not about where you're from
It's where you see yourself
When all the world has gone mad
And you're the last one left standing
A few words of advice for you
Always live your life without restrictions
One day it'll flash before your eyes
So make sure that it's worth watching
Don't listen when anyone doubts
Your ability to be successful
The greatest pleasure in life
Is doing what they say you can not do
Tell me will you believe
In your goals and your dreams
If you believe in yourself
