Rental Car Seattle
Rental Car Seattle (map) welcomes you to the most literate city in America. The United States Census Bureau indicates that Seattle has the highest percentage of college graduates of any major U.S. city. Rental car Seattle explores a location inhabited for at least 8,000 years. The rich habitat of rivers, forests, lakes, and fields supported one of the world’s few sedentary hunter-gatherer societies.
Cool, mild, and cloudy an average of 226 days per year, Seattle protected from Arctic air by the Cascade Range, and Pacific storms by the Olympic Mountains, is sometimes classified as a Mediterranean climate.
The area has had many “booms” – timber, the Gold Rush, shipbuilding and aircraft manufacturing, and then the dot-com bubble which drove Seattle’s real estate market into the echelon of San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles.
Rental car Seattle has also seen many “busts”. The city coined the term “Skid Row (Road)” where timber was skid down the main street to the sawmill. The economy became so bad in the 1970s, that two local real estate agents put up a billboard, “Will the last person leaving Seattle — Turn out the lights.” That all turned around with “Grunge”, Starbucks, the computer, and the internet.
