Seattle Bay Waves

The cool waters of the northern Pacific Ocean slap gently along the banks of the bay. A bright and crisp cascade of wetness continually flowing along the forested shoreline of this great American city. The freshness of this place has been a powerful muse to some of America's greatest songwriters and artists. Let this special space send you into the depths of your soul. The Seattle area has been inhabited for at least 4,000 years, but white settlement began only in the mid-19th century. Seattle is the birthplace of rock legend Jimi Hendrix and the rock music style known as "grunge," which was made famous by local groups Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. In terms of per capita income, a study by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis ranked the Seattle metropolitan area 17th out of 363 metropolitan areas in 2006. Seattle has particularly strong information technology, aviation, architecture and recreational industries. It is particularly known as a hotbed of "green" technologies, stemming in part from the strong and relatively non-controversial stances its public leaders have taken on policies regarding urban design.
