The state of Washington is home to nearly 5.9 million people. Known as "The Evergreen State," Washington sees rainfall during much of the year, and as a result is known for lush forested mountains as well as constantly changing weather. The state has a number of mountain ranges, including the Olympics, the Coast Range, the Cascades, the Columbia Plateau, and the Rocky Mountain; naturally, the state is perfectly suited for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy frolicking on the state's countless hiking and biking trails or riding the rapids. Sea kayaking also has a large following in Port Townsend. However, Seattle is the crown jewel in this state's list of cities where you can find apartments; it's the hip home of Starbucks, Microsoft and MySpace, as well as a funky artist community (Fremont) and the iconic-if-cheesy Seattle Needle.

Addle" (West Seattle). Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, the band whose "Smells Like Teen Spirit" redefined the sound of the nineties, was also from near Seattle.
