You don’t need to click your heels three times to get to this Emerald City. Just a desire to experience all the amazing attractions that Seattle and surrounding communities such as Bellevue offer. This is where the biggest names in tech, aerospace and commerce share zipcodes with striking architecture, storied sports teams, countless green spaces and a foodie’s fantasy of public markets all framed by mountain ranges and the blue expanse of Puget Sound. When you’re here, just don’t forget to raise a toast to your good fortune by visiting neighboring wine country.
