Embark on a New Life in Seattle

The primary industries of Seattle are engineering, healthcare, service and design, while internet and technology companies also provide employment to computer analysts and web developers. Healthcare professionals including physical therapists and optometrists are also in demand, but expats will face competition for the best jobs. Busy nightlife can be found in Belltown, Pioneer Square, or Capitol Hill, with Ballard providing a quieter, classier atmosphere. Indulge your inner gourmand, enjoy large, typically American, shopping malls or soak up the atmosphere in one of the sporting arenas. With parks and lakes providing spaces to cycle, hike, or kayak, along with museums and a thriving arts scene which includes the famed Seattle Opera, there is plenty to fill your days in the Emerald City.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Dubai or Shanghai, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Make Friends in Seattle with InterNations Groups

It can be difficult to know where to meet new people when relocating, but pursuing your interests with friends can make all the difference to enjoying the novelties of a new home.

Find like-minded expats in our groups and share your love of hiking, coffee, or dining.

    Even before moving to Seattle I made great contacts to other expats. The expat world has been waiting for such a plattform.
