Seattle, Washington is the center of the Seattle-Tacoma Metropolitan Area, the unofficial capital of the USA's Pacific Northwest region. Home to some of the world's most valuable corporations, the city has become one of the most desirable and dynamic of the North American cities. Situated on Puget Sound, it's the home of the USA's fourth largest seaport, in addition to being a major sailboat city. Seattle lies in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, an active volcano which is the highest mountain in the Cascades range, and is within easy driving range of some of the country's densest pine forests and its top-rated hiking trails. With this and much more on offer, it's no surprise that Seattle was chosen by Outside magazine as the Best Big City with Bona Fide Adventure in a recent survey. Here's a collection of the best drone videos from the city of Starbucks, Boeing, Amazon, and Microsoft. Aerial photo: "The Emerald City - Seattle" by AirVuz contributor and drone pilot tylerjmason.
