Seattle - Perry Como - Seattle, Washington - Immortalized in Lyrics on Waymarking.com

"Seattle"
The bluest sky you've ever seen, in Seattle.
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle.
Like a beautiful child
Growing up, free and wild.
Full of hopes and full of fears,
Full of laughter, full of tears,
Full of dreams to last a year
In Seattle.

This is the main chorus of the song "Seattle" which was the theme song for the 1968 TV show, "Here Come the Brides" starring Bobby Sherman.

"Here Come the Brides" was a television series aired on the ABC television network from 1968 to 1970. It was loosely based upon the Mercer Girls, Asa Mercer's efforts to bring civilization to old Seattle by importing marriageable women from the war-ravaged East Coast of the United States in the 1860s.

The show's premise was that eldest brother Jason Bolt (played by Robert Brown} bet his entire logging operation that he could persuade one hundred marriageable ladies to come to Seattle and stay for a full year. Much of the dramatic and comic tension in the first season revolved around the efforts of their benefactor Aaron Stempel (played by Mark Lenard) to thwart the deal and take control of the Bolts' holdings. The second, and final, season focused more on the development of individual characters and the conflicts associated with newcomers and with people just passing through.

The show was a big hit when it first aired and the "Seattle" song netted Como a hit single.
