Seattle - definition of Seattle in Encyclopedia (4999 words)
Seattle is the largest city in the U.S. state of Washington, and in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, with a total estimated population of 569,101 as of 2003.
The University of Washington is consistently ranked among the country's dozen leading institutions in medical research; the Group Health Cooperative was one of the pioneers of managed care in the United States, and Seattle was a pioneer in the development of modern paramedic services with the establishment of Medic One in 1970.
Seattle politics are generally dominated by the liberal wing (in the U.S. sense of the word "liberal") of the Democratic Party; in some local elections, Greens (and even, on at least one occasion, a member of the Freedom Socialist Party) have fared better than Republicans.
