Seattle is by far the largest city in the region, indeed the state, and a major travel destination in its own right. It is one of the world's most beautiful cities.
King County, where Seattle is located, also has some unique suburbs, such as Bellevue, Redmond, Woodinville, Kent and much more that extend north, east and south from the core.
The Kitsap Peninsula and the surrounding islands are more isolated from the urban sprawl because they require a ferry across Puget Sound to get there. While the area around Bremerton is more urbanized, the islands such as Bainbridge Island still maintain a bucolic charm.
The North Sound region lies north of Seattle and includes the large city of Everett and its suburbs, as well as quiet Whidbey Island.
The South Sound region includes the cities south of Seattle such as the industrial city of Tacoma and the state capital at Olympia, further south.
