Seattle Space Needle Mt. Rainier

Seattle lies in one of the most pristine areas in the country. Surrounded by the Olympic and Cascade Mountain Ranges, the view of Mt. Rainier is visible from downtown. Seattle is poised on the edge of the Puget Sound and is home to Nordstrom, Starbucks, and amazon.com. Microsoft, the world's leading software manufacturer, is located 15 miles east of the Seattle/Tacoma International airport in Redmond, WA.

Tacoma is located along I-5 and just 18 miles south of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The city overlooks Commencement Bay and offers attractions including the Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum and Washington State History Museum all of which are linked by the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. From Tacoma, it's only an hour's drive to Mount Rainier where recreational activities abound.
