“On the
Edge”
Seattle, Washington is the gateway to
the Asia-Pacific region – the closest city in the 48 contiguous states to
Asia. Located in the Pacific Northwest on the shores of Puget Sound, the
city was founded by early settlers as a stopping-off point to Alaska.
The Space Needle, landmark from the 1962
World’s Fair, captures the city’s liberal style and essence of
forward-thinking and taking risks to achieve a vision. The city has a
vibrant social culture and lively arts/music scene. Picturesque
neighborhoods with panoramic vistas dot the city making it one of the
most livable communities in the country. The attractive city continues to
draw talented people from around the world – a blend of rugged
outdoorsmen to sophisticated city folks.
Dominant industries in and around the
Emerald City include aerospace, telecommunications, trade, software,
e-commerce, medical research, tourism and natural resources.
The University of Washington has roughly
some 32,000 students and receives the second highest federal grants in
the country for research. The medical program is ranked as the top primary-care
medical school in the nation.

“At the
Center”
For part of the last century, St. Louis,
Missouri was the gateway to the western U.S.
Located in the mid-west, the city sits
at the center of the United States. Founded in 1764, early settlers found
the city a convenient point for trade and administration – just
downstream from the junctions of the Missouri, Illinois, and Mississippi
Rivers.
The Arch, built in 1965, symbolizes the
city’s role as the gateway and transit point for western pioneers. Those
pioneers left behind what has become today’s St. Louis – a conservative
and friendly town: a mix of north, south, east and west.
The business culture can be considered
conservative, hard working, frugal, and based on traditional values and
firm social foundations. St. Louis is truly all-American as any place can
be: the city thrives on professional sports. Transportation, education,
manufacturing, agriculture, and services are strong sectors of the
economy.
Washington University is respectfully
known as the Harvard of the mid-west. The schools of medicine, law,
business, and social work are nationally renown as is the economics
department of the school of arts and sciences.
