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.

Eryuan County is one of the counties under the jurisdiction of Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is located in the north of Dali City, the source of Erhai Lake. With a land area of 2875 square kilometers, it is an ethnic minority county inhabited by 24 ethnic groups, including Han, Bai, Yi, Hui, Dai and Lisu, with a total population of 320400 at the end of 1999. Because of its rich natural resources, Eryuan is praised as "land of fish and rice", "hometown of plum", "hometown of dairy cows", "hometown of hot springs", "hometown of orchids", "hometown of plateau water" and "hometown of suona". On September 29, 2018, Eryuan County was approved to withdraw from the poverty-stricken county after being studied by the Yunnan provincial party committee and provincial government.
