Seattle is a seaport city on the west coast of the United States. It is the seat of King County, Washington. With a land area of 83.9 square miles (217.3 km²), Seattle is the northernmost city with at least 500,000 people in the United States, farther north than Canadian cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, at about the same latitude as Salzburg, Austria. The topography of Seattle is hilly. The city lies on several hills, including Capitol Hill, First Hill, West Seattle, Beacon Hill, Magnolia, Denny Hill, and Queen Anne. The Kitsap and the Olympic peninsulas along with the Olympic mountains lie to the west of Puget Sound, while the Cascade Range and Lake Sammamish lie to the east of Lake Washington. The city has over 5,540 acres (2,242 ha) of parkland. With an estimated 704,352 residents as of 2016, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. In 2013 and 2016 it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States. The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2015.
Seattle is home to many world-renowned companies such as Boeing, Microsoft and Amazon.

A demo version named "Seattle X Demo" is provided. This is a fully functional freeware scenery, perfectly aligned with the full payware version. This ensures no problems with online (VATSIM, IVAO and multiplayer) flying in case some users have the payware scenery and some don't. The demo features both - the City and the Airports packages and includes some downtown buildings as well as all airports with terminals but with low resolution textures, non-animated jetways and generally much less details. Demo sceneries are available on our website and on other websites with FS freeware add-ons.
This is a very solid 4 stars and would be 5 were it not for some strange scenery omissions. The area where the Seattle Zoo belongs is somehow a residential area with houses. A bunch of places have totally wrong building sizes for what’s actually there. Where tunnels start and end on roads the traffic simply drives right over. Also traffic is going northbound on both the north and south routes of I5. The Ballard locks are missing. Now I realize that I might be a little bit picky and maybe unforgiving probably because I’ve lived in this area most of my life. That said the vast majority of the scenery is incredible. Lots and lots of fantastic details. I’m not regretting the purchase one bit. The frame rates are perfect even with so much detail. The size and scope of the scenery package is also very satisfying. Close to perfect. Totally worth it.

With P7700K + GTX1080 on P3D4.5 runs quite nicely with airport pack. Frames are better than default. For the amount of detail very smooth with my rig. A bit of stutter getting near KPAE which has extraordinary detail but this flattens out in around 5 seconds. The other developer with even better frames on their detailed set of airports is Flightbeam so check them out as well. Another DD gem, highly recommended for those with highend machines.
Great city and one of the best sceneries I've had. I actually did worry about FPS but "believed" other reviewers and it is true that it performs better than the default scenery (P3Dv4), even with all those details added. Just as others I like the massive area too - you can fly a lot without ever leaving the scenery area. Very nice! There are tiny details everywhere and it looks and feels very realistic. The night lighting is gorgeous. I agree this is the best city package so far!
Was worried about performance when used with the airports package... but was completely blown away with better performance than with the default when installed. It is a must for flying in and out of Seattle. Honestly the best city package period. Must buy!
Not so great when using alone but together with Seattle Airports this is probably the best bundle for FS I've seen so far. The area is huge, there is an amazing amount of details and FPS is actually better than in the default scenery (FSX:SE and P3Dv4). Not only the downtown area is covered with custom buildings but also many more areas, even MS campus and Bellevue. The large area looks great on approaches to every airport from the Airports pack. Both products highly recommended. Looking forward to their upcoming city products.
With Seattle airports it's a great combo with high optimization standard. There are some bugs and compatibility problems at initial stage indeed, but I can imagine that it's not easy to be in accordance with so many addons. And support and updates from DD are being provided as always. For me it's pretty good!
I'm very impress ! A lot of detail was put into this scenery, including the surrounding cities, like Bellevue, Federalway. This is a must have ! this really represents the Puget sound area. This works well Drzewiecki Design-Seattle X airports.
