Seattle is a vibrant city, a hotbed for start-up businesses, the arts, and innovative culture. The clean air and water, natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and waterways, and mild marine climate must be entrepreneurially intoxicating because so major companies got their start here. Connected to the Pacific Ocean via the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound, Seattle has evolved into a cosmopolitan city with a bustling container and cruise ship port and strong ties to Asia. Yet Seattle still retains its hometown feel as a "city of neighborhoods" loaded with community spirit, civic pride and multi-ethnic diversity. Photographer Stuart Westmorland's stunning images skillfully capture the creative energy and jubilant spirit of this beautiful Pacific Northwest city. The Space Needle, Seattle Public Market, Experience Music Project Museum, and Seattle Center are just a few places that are captured in this keepsake.
