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.

Jingjiang City, referred to as "Jing" for short, is located in eastern China, the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, near the Jingjiang River, facing the river in the east, west and south, facing Jiangyin and Zhangjiagang in the south and southeast, adjacent to Rugao in the east and Taixing in the northwest. It is a new port industrial city in Jiangsu Province, with 54 kilometers of high-quality Yangtze River shoreline and convenient land and water transportation. The geographical location of Jingjiang is "strangling the gate of the river and sea and defending the whole Wu", so it is called "Jingjiang". "Jing" means stability and peace, and "Jiang" is because it is close to the Yangtze River, which means that Jingjiang is a city by the river. Jingjiang has been listed as an open area by the State Council and joined the Southern Jiangsu Torch Belt, which has become an important "bridgehead" for the Shanghai Pudong Development Zone and the Southern Jiangsu Torch Belt to radiate and extend to northern Jiangsu. Jingjiang is a first-class and powerful city north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, leading the counties and cities in northern Jiangsu. Jing
