King County, Washington
The heart of the Puget Sound region beats in King County. Seattle, the state’s largest city, dominates here. To the east, you’ll find tech hubs like Bellevue and Redmond. Microsoft calls this area home.
Head further east and the landscape changes dramatically. The Cascade Mountains rise up with endless outdoor adventures. The county is named after William R. King, but most folks don’t know that.
What they do know is that this place is booming. It’s the most populous county in Washington. Coffee shops, craft breweries, and cutting-edge companies abound. Yet you can still find pockets of quiet if you know where to look.
