Seattle Facts |
 The
City of Seattle is located in the State of
Washington on Puget Sound, 113 miles (182 km) south of the U.S.-Canadian border.
It is at latitude 47" 37' and north longitude 122" 19' West. Its land area covers 217 sq km, and its water area covers 150 sq km -- 41% water in city limits! The city is located at sea level. The highest hill elevation in the city is 520 feet. Seattle terrain is hilly (the city is built on seven adjacent hills) and green. The city shoreline runs along Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington to the east. The Lake Washington Ship Canal is an east/west running waterway that geologically divides Seattle into northern and southern sections. Lake Union is a 580 acre freshwater lake that is part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal system, located about mid-city, just to the west of Interstate-5. The city's major lakes are Lake Washington, which stretches along almost the entire eastern side of Seattle, and Bitter Lake, Green Lake and Haller Lake, which are all north of the Lake Washington Ship Canal. There are over 150 bridges in use in Seattle, helping people travel over the many waterways in the city. The city is separated from the Pacific Ocean by the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas. |
