With an estimated 730,000 residents as of 2018, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the northwestern Pacific region of North America. According to data from the US census published in 2018, the population of the Seattle metropolitan area stands at 3.87 million and ranks 15th among the United States.

The city is located on an isthmus between Puget Sound (a cove of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 160 km south of the border between Canada and the United States. One of the main gateways to trade with Asia, Seattle is the fourth largest port in North America in terms of container handling starting in 2015.
