Seattle is the northermost major city in the contiguous United States, and the largest city in the Pacific Northwest and in the state of Washington.

The fairgrounds surrounding the Needle have been converted in to Seattle Center, which remains the site of many local civic and cultural events, such as Bumbershoot, Folklife, and the Bite of Seattle. Seattle Center plays multiple roles in the city, ranging from a public fair ground to a civic center, though recent economic losses have called its viability and future into question. The Seattle Center Monorail was also constructed for Centrury 21 and still runs from Seattle Center to Westlake Center, a downtown shopping mall, a little over a mile to the southeast.

Seattle is considered the home of grunge music, because it was home to artists such as Soundgarden, Nivana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Mudhoney, all of whom reached vast audiences in the early 1990s. The city is also home to such varied musicians as avant-grade jazz musicians Bill Frisell and Wayne Hovitz, rapper Sir Mix- a Lot, smooth jazz saxophonist Kenny G, Heart, heavy metal bands Queensryche, Nevermore and Sunn , as well as such poppier rock bands as Harvey Danger, Goodness, and The Presidents of the United States of America.

However, all the Hawaiian islands were formed from volcanic activity initiated at an undersea magma source called a hotspot. As the tectonic plate beveath much of the Pacific Ocean moves to the northwest, the hot spot remains stationary, slowly creating new volcanoes. Due to the hotspot's location, the only active volcanoes are located around the southern half of the Big Island. The newest volcano is located south of the Big Island's coast.
