Seattle, Washington (47.606N. -122.33W) is the largest city in Washington, and in the Pacific Northwest. It was officially incorporated in 1889, but had been a town since 1851, when a group of pioneers from Illinois settled West Seattle, a peninsula within the current city limits to the west.
Seattle's median household income is $45,736, where the national average is $41,994. The population as of 2006 is 578,700. The city has generally been at capacity since about 1960, since the population hasn't gone up more than 10,000 people since then. As reported by the Seattle times, 12.9% of the city's population identifies as a [[homosexual]].
