Seattle (/siˈætəl/ (listen) see-AT-əl) is a seaport city on the West Coast of the United States. It is the seat of King County, Washington. With a 2020 population of 737,015, it is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The Seattle metropolitan area's population is 4.02 million, making it the 15th-largest in the United States. Its growth rate of 21.1% between 2010 and 2020 makes it one of the nation's fastest-growing large cities.

Seattle is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington. It is the northernmost major city in the United States, located about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canadian border. A major gateway for trade with East Asia, Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2021[update].

The Seattle area was inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers. Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived from Illinois via Portland, Oregon, on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13, 1851. The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay and named "Seattle" in 1852, in honor of Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes. Today, Seattle has high populations of Native, Scandinavian, European American, Asian American and African American people, as well as a thriving LGBT community that ranks sixth in the United States by population.

Beitun is located at the southern foot of Altai Mountain, north of Junggar Basin, south bank of Ertix River, at the foot of Deren Mountain, bordering Kazakhstan in the west, Russia in the north and Mongolia in the east. It was founded in 1958 and was personally selected and named by Zhang Zhonghan, the former political commissar of the bingtuan, meaning that the bingtuan reclaimed the northernmost land, and it is another star of military reclamation in New China. It is the county-level city directly under the jurisdiction of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region and the seat of the 10th Division of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps. It implements the "integration of division and city" management mode with the 10th Division of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, which is managed by the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps.
