Live somewhere you’ll love and make a difference

Enjoy the culture of the Puget Sound cities

Experience city life with mild weather and stunning views of Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. The Puget Sound communities offer world-class arts, educational institutions, and sports teams. In this region of economic and cultural diversity, you’ll enjoy top restaurants, great shopping, and more. And Seattle consistently ranks as one of the top 10 U.S. cities for employment.

Explore the outdoors

Washingtonians are some of the most active folks in the country because they live in the heart of a year-round natural wonderland. There’s plenty of rain, but we have outstanding summer weather. We’re surrounded by hiking trails and ski resorts. Or if you prefer the water, try boating, rafting, jet-skiing, kayaking, whale watching, or island-hopping in the Puget Sound!

Live in a progressive state

Washington is considered one of the 10 greenest states in the country. We mandate paid family leave and marriage equality. We also have no state income tax.
