Seattle
Corporate Language Training
In today’s global economy, Seattle continues to thrive. As the largest city in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest, Seattle has become a major hub for business, technology, trade and international talent.
The city has a population of around 784,000, which represents an increase of nearly 22% since 2010. The greater Seattle metro area, which includes nearby cities such as Tacoma and Bellevue, is home to more than 4.1 million people.
Seattle has one of the strongest economies in the United States, thanks in large part to the global companies that have a major presence in the region.
Amazon, one of the area’s best-known employers, is headquartered in Seattle. Microsoft, another global technology leader, is headquartered in Redmond, Washington, about 15 miles east of the city.
The region’s economy extends far beyond tech. Boeing remains one of the area’s top employers, and Alaska Airlines is also headquartered in Seattle. Together, these companies help make the Seattle region a major center for aerospace, aviation and innovation.
Seattle’s location on the Pacific coast also makes it an important port city and a major center for international trade.
The city is the #3 export market in the United States and one of China’s top U.S. trading partners. Nearly 140,000 jobs in the Seattle area are tied directly to exports, showing just how closely the region is connected to the global economy.
Seattle’s global business ties are reflected in its increasingly international population. In King County, which includes Seattle, almost half of all new residents since 2010 were born outside the United States.
King County is home to more than 516,000 foreign-born residents. According to The Seattle Times, six of the top 10 countries of origin for King County’s foreign-born population are in Asia.
Other top countries of origin include Mexico, Canada, Ukraine and Ethiopia.
- India
- China
- Vietnam
- Philippines
- Korea
- Taiwan
The University of Washington also adds to Seattle’s international character. As one of the city’s top employers and a major research university, it attracts students, faculty and professionals from around the world.
With approximately 8,000 international students from more than 100 countries, the University of Washington helps make Seattle a deeply connected, globally minded city.
