About Seattle Hub of Innovation and TechnologyThe Cascade and Olympic Mountains frame the perfect setting for this vibrant city, with majestic Mount Rainier in the distance and the waters of Puget Sound at its feet. Blessed by nature, the Seattle area is also a hub of innovation, invention and technology, hosting the headquarters of Microsoft, Expedia, Amazon.com and Adobe, as well as industry giant Boeing. And then, of course, there's the coffee-with Starbucks' original store and over 300 coffee shops! It’s the perfect location for INFORMS Annual Meeting 2007. Known as one of America's trendiest and most livable cities, Seattle is a delight for the tourist. You can shop at Pike Place Market (watch out for flying fish!), visit the International District and historic Pioneer Square, and cruise Puget Sound by ferry or sailboat. Just outside the city are more great sights and experiences, from northwest wineries to the San Juan Islands, where Orca whales make their home. Seattle is truly a cultural melting pot, shaped by the Pacific Rim in everything from architecture to its eclectic cuisine. The art of glassblowing, pioneered by Dale Chihuly, is on display at Seattle galleries and the Museum of Glass. And you'll have a special opportunity to sample the city's music scene at our Tuesday evening General Reception at Experience Music Project, a new interactive museum of American popular music. Don't miss this great INFORMS meeting in this fabulous city! For more information, check out these links:
