11 Best Places to Live in The U.S. (2017)

4) Seattle, Washington

A dominant city in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is a popular place to live for those into the cultural arts and nature. Surrounded by water and mountains, residents thoroughly enjoy the outdoors. Seattle is known nation-wide for its theater, opera, and dozens of art galleries and museums. The Boeing Company, Microsoft, and Amazon all call Seattle home. The economy depends on the aerospace industry, as well as manufacturing, technology, transportation, and forestry. Median household incomes are over $70,000, making the high price of real estate more affordable. Contrary to popular belief, Seattle doesn’t receive as much rain as you think. The city has more “rainy days”, but the amount of rain that falls is far lower than other cities like New York, Charleston, and Atlanta. Seattle’s weather rarely dips below 30 F in the winter and hovers in the 60s during the summer. Stay cool, Seattle!
