Seattle
Seattle features a diverse topography characterized by its unique geographical setting between Puget Sound and Lake Washington. The city is situated on an isthmus, which contributes to its dramatic landscape, featuring rolling hills and steep slopes that rise abruptly from the waterfront. The average elevation in Seattle is approximately 131 feet, with the highest point reaching around 520 feet above sea level at areas like Beacon Hill. The terrain is punctuated by numerous valleys and ridges, making it visually striking and providing expansive views of both the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Cascade Range to the east. The presence of water bodies and the varying elevations create a lush environment, supporting diverse ecosystems and offering ample recreational opportunities, from hiking in nearby forests to boating on the lakes.
