Seattle Visionaries
        
        
          Seattle’s AI scene reflects the city itself, from traffic backups on
          I-5 where smart routing platforms are used for congestion
          relief, to monitoring salmon runs in the Puget Sound and wildfire risk
          in the Cascades where AI systems help track ecosystems, to
          machine learning air and water quality projects tied to
          industrial pollution in Georgetown and South Park, to outdoor and
          extreme sports recreation where avalanche prediction tools are
          applied to Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass, to public safety and housing
          the homeless initiatives that address encampments under I-5, to
          popular tourist spots where robots help pour coffee in downtown
          cafes, and finally to creative AI projects that generate waves
          in music, art, and design on Capitol Hill.
