Although more rain falls in Seattle than almost any other part of the nation, the region is considered one of the most desirable places to live. The 7th's diversity and liberal political leanings help inspire a cultural scene recognized for creating 1990s social trends like grunge music. The Seattle region has become a home to high-tech startups and industry leaders. Software behemoth Microsoft, in nearby Redmond (1st District), is only one of more than 2,000 computer development firms in the area. Aviation also provides thousands of jobs, as does the area's biotechnology industry. Although the city's population growth has not kept pace with the state as a whole, its suburbs, especially in the north, form one of the fastest growing regions in the country. The Port of Seattle is also one of the major gateways to Asian markets and makes the 7th one of the most trade-dependent economies in the nation. Although the Asian economic crisis has affected some large, multinational corporations, the technology boom has kept the economy of the 7th prosperous. The 7th is one of the nation's most liberal bastions. Democrats often face no opposition in elections. The community cares mostly about health care, education and, most recently, traffic; the population growth in suburbs outside the 7th has created long delays on the area's roadways.
