Seattle (i/siˈætəl/) is a West Coast seaport city and the seat of King County. With an estimated 662,400 residents as of 2015, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. In July 2013 it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States, and remained in the top five in May 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.1%. The Seattle metropolitan area of around 3.6 million inhabitants is the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States. The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the third largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2015.
The Seattle area was previously inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers.Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived from Illinois via Portland, Oregon on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13, 1851. The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay and named "Seattle" in 1852, after Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes.
Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m) high mounted to a backboard at each end.
A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field goal scores three points for the shooting team if the player shoots from behind the three-point line, and two points if shot from in front of the line. A team can also score via free throws, which are worth one point, after the other team was assessed with certain fouls. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) is issued when the score is tied at the end of regulation. The ball can be advanced on the court by throwing it to a teammate, or by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling). It is a violation to lift, or drag, one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling.

The Seattle Redhawks are the intercollegiate varsity athletic teams of Seattle University of Seattle, Washington. They compete in the NCAA's Division I as a member institution of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
Between 1950 and 1971, Seattle competed as a NCAA Division I independent, then joined the West Coast Athletic Conference (now West Coast Conference) in 1971. Seattle grabbed national headlines in the mid-1950s when it defeated the Harlem Globetrotters. Seattle was led by the O'Brien twins, Eddie and Johnny (South Amboy, New Jersey). Johnny became the first college player to score 1,000 points in a season and both were named All-Americans. The O'Brien twins led Seattle to the NIT in Madison Square Garden and then onto its first NCAA Tournament berth. The O'Brien twins were also standouts in baseball. Upon graduation, Eddie and Johnny played together with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Things to do when you're bored this summer! Latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_PHsIv6mQA&list;=PLDUsRvRj23vfzgPF73f3HZJfRw6YGoViL&index;=1 Hey! Okay so this video is a little different than my normal videos but I thought it would be a cool mix of a "What To Do When You're Bored" video and a travel video! I made this video over 2 different trips to Seattle and it was mostly cloudy (of course) but I think there are a couple days of sunny footage in here! I have 6 ideas of things to do, there's so much more you could do but these are some of the most well known and I thought it would be cool for you all to see it from my perspective.

Join the Matador Network as we explore Seattle from a local’s perspective. To get a sense of what it’s like to live in Seattle, and to see the Emerald City through the eyes of an insider, we tag along for a day in the life of Kirsten Gardner, a local tour guide who takes us on a hike and to a few of her favorit spots in the neighborhood of Ballard. Then, we follow local glass artist Preston Singletary through Pioneer Square, to grab coffee and check out some local public artworks. Finally, we’ll pop in to Green Lake for a visit with Chef Rachel Yang to see what makes Seattle a perfect place to visit with families. Each visit allows us to gain insight into why Seattle is the city with the perfect mix of both urban and the outdoor life.

During my time as an intern at Digital Kitchen, I was tasked with doing an individual passion project of my choosing. This encouraged me to explore a medium I was previously unfamiliar with – film. One of my favourite things to do in a new city is to discover the food and flavours it has to offer. I find that it’s often hard to discover the real gems through just using the internet, so it’s usually best to turn to the locals instead. Thus, I decided to ask the only people I knew in the city, my coworkers, what their favourite spots to eat were in the city and why they meant something to them. The project evolved overtime and eventually became what it is today: a compilation of Seattle food culture through the lens of Digital Kitchen. Thank you to everyone at Digital Kitchen’s Seattl...

Our name describes our family, our handcrafted products, and our passion to bring authentic Thai flavor to all the foods you love. Growing up, our mother’s original Thai recipes filled us with deep respect for our heritage, pride in our culture, and a lifelong craving for the fresh, potent flavors found only in authentic Thai cooking. We realized just how special these recipes were when we opened our family restaurant “Toi” in Seattle. Named after our mom, she shared her recipes and skills, served as our guide and inspiration, and was the final word on taste and standards. When the national reviews and honors came in, we celebrated mom first. It was her work that earned us a place in Bon Appetit’s “Best of the Year” issue and national recognition in Travel and Leisure magazines. We now off...

Caribou Bones (1995) A documentary by Paul Bonesteel “What is true wilderness? I don’t know if I‘ve ever really been there. But I do know that this trip seems to have a gravity all its own. There is something undefinable that has brought us here, to a river, two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, where even the definition of wilderness is insignificant.” -Paul Bonesteel, from the film’s narration The story centers on the three Bonesteel’s excursion into the Brooks Range of Alaska, their unexpected separation, and their journey that unfolded through the mountains, tundra and rivers of Alaska's Gates of the Arctic National Park. Caribou Bones is an elaborate "home movie," with Paul utilizing the trip itself and his family's archive of super 8mm footage connect events from the pas...
