Seattle Culture
|
|
Seattle has a big reputation
despite being a small city. It has around 5630,000 residents,
according to the latest U.S. Census, with an even split of female
and male residents. But unlike major metropolises like Los Angeles
and New York City, Seattle isn’t as ethnically diverse.
In fact, 70 percent of the population identifies itself as White,
while roughly 8 percent identifies itself as Black or African
American and 13 percent as Asian, including Indian, Chinese,
Filipino, |
Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean. Nevertheless, you’ll still
find great ethnic cuisine in the city, as well as fresh seafood, of
course. And the neighborhoods are very family-friendly. Indeed, almost
half of all households are made up of families and nearly 20 percent
have individuals under the age of 18 in them. So if you’re a
family traveling to Seattle, expect to find a steady stream of activities
and events that will keep both you and the kids occupied.
