Seattle Courses and Certifications

Seattle and surrounding suburbs and satellites is home to over half of Washington’s population. The largest metropolis of the Pacific Northwest, and one of the largest and most affluent urban centers in the United States. A major port of entry, and an air and sea gateway to Asia and Alaska, this gem of the Pacific Northwest is surrounded by great natural beauty. Seattle maintains a high level of social and public services, excellent schools, and abundant parks and greenbelts, which have bestowed upon it “the Emerald City.” It is consistently rated as one of North America’s most livable cities.

Linked by road, rail, ship, and air to global distribution networks, the city has grown to take on international economic importance, a development that owes much to Seattle’s role as one of the world’s leading centers for the manufacture of high technology, and for Internet-based commerce. Seattle is also a leading center of multimedia production – uniting technology, music, and the visual arts.
