Seattle Language Academy:
Seattle Language Academy is located in the Canal Centre, at 126 NW Canal Street, Suite 100, on the Fremont side of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, approximately one-third mile west of the Fremont Bridge. It is in one of the most unique and beautiful neighborhoods in Seattle, only 15 minutes from downtown by auto or bus.
One of the most beautiful destinations in the United States, Seattle is a fun, lively, cosmopolitan city that offers a safe and relaxed environment for residents and visitors alike. Located in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is situated between the shores of a Pacific Ocean inlet and a freshwater lake and enjoys a spectacular natural setting. With its moderate climate, vibrant economy, abundance of outdoor activities by day and animated night-life after hours, Seattle has frequently been voted the most livable city in the United States.
As a hub of commerce, Seattle is home to global businesses-Microsoft, Amazon.com, Boeing, and Starbucks, to name a few. Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada is only three hours by car and San Francisco, California just two hours by plane.
