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.

Jindong District, established in February 2001, now has jurisdiction over eight towns, one township and two streets, with a total area of 658.19 square kilometers and a population of 361500. It is located in Jinqu Basin in central Zhejiang, between Jinhua and Yiwu, west of Jinhua City, east of Yiwu, south of Yongkang and Wuyi, and north of Lanxi. It is not only the core area of the urban agglomeration of central Zhejiang and Jinyi City, but also an important node of Jinyi Golden Spindle. The transportation network of Jindong is well developed, with the double track of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, Jinwen Railway, National Highway 330 and Provincial Highway 03 running through the whole territory. Hangzhou-Jinzhou-Quzhou Expressway, Jinliwen Expressway and Yong-Jin Expressway all have interchange ports in the area, and high-grade highways in the region account for more than 40%.
