King County

As the largest County in Washington, and home to both Seattle and Bellevue—King County often represents the highlight reel for the State, and the must-see list for visitors. Well known attractions like the Space Needle and Pike’s Place Market are cultural touchpoints in media, though lesser known attractions like The Museum of Flight and the Fremont Troll are equally fascinating. The city of Seattle is the fourth largest seaport in the United States. East of Seattle, across Lake Washington, is Bellevue, a burgeoning technology hub with big-name players like Amazon, Facebook, and Google. You’ll also find a host of international software firms and video game companies including The Pokémon Company making their headquarters here. This large center of commerce, coupled with the endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and its mild year-round climate, makes King County an exciting and rewarding place to call home.
