Credit the coffee or gray weather keeping people inside and at their desks. The city that has been crowned America’s hardest working city is … Seattle. The blog Movoto, which covers “the lighter side of real estate,” says factors including average hours worked per week, unemployment rate, employed workers per hour and lack of sleep earned the Emerald City the No. 1 spot on its list of America’s 50 hardest-working cities.
We always knew living in Washington was the best, but now it’s been nationally recognized as one of the Top 10 States for Quality of Life!
Here’s a list of local events for the Fourth of July in and around Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett.
These five cities dedicate the most land and money per resident to their park systems and the results show, with plenty of green.
If there is one thing that we value in the Puget Sound area of Washington, it’s nature. Throughout our history this community has prized the outdoors, and that’s evident in the sheer number of parks you’ll find here. One will also find that our region is full of unique places that help set our area apart.

There’s less than 24 hours to support my goal of a world with less cancer! Please donate here: Relay For Life of Kent – Jennifer Gilbert-Smith
Why I Support the American Cancer Society:
Every day, the American Cancer Society helps people take steps to reduce their risk of cancer or find it early when it is easiest to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it throughout their journey to get well. They are investing in groundbreaking research to find, prevent, treat, and cure cancer, and are working with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities worldwide to join the fight.
I have signed up to walk and fundraise in my local Relay For Life event. I hope you will consider making a donation in support of my efforts.
Together, we have the power to help create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyone’s life!

Hi! I’m one of the three Co-Chairs for Relay For Life of Kent this year. 2013 marks my 12th year with Relay For Life of Kent! In the past I’ve served on the Leadership Team as the Food Coordinator and have assisted with Accounting. I have a passion for providing food to Relay participants and volunteers, and hope you enjoy the complimentary meals and snacks we have planned for you this year! I’ve also been a Co-Captain of a top fundraising team, organized countless successful fundraisers and continue to complete the registration and cashier duties for my team’s fundraisers.
Time really flies! It doesn’t seem that long ago that an agent in my office explained what Relay For Life is. I became involved because cancer had touched my friends’ and family’s lives, and continues to. I currently have friends that are survivors, some that are battling the disease, and I’ve watched cancer slowly take the lives of others. I’ve realized that cancer touches everyone’s life directly or indirectly, and I believe this can stop. If I had to choose one favorite aspect of the event, my favorite is the closing ceremony. Listening to the names of individuals and teams read with the large sums of money they raised is inspiring. We will not stop until there’s a cure!
I’m Jennifer Gilbert-Smith, I Relay, and I’m making hope happen. Thank you for helping me reach my goal of a world with less cancer!
