The city of Westminster is centrally located along U.S. 36 between Denver and Boulder, a convenient 20-minute drive to either city. That key location offers major transportation routes and access to many metro-area colleges and universities, as well as popular destinations such as the Denver Art Museum, Six Flags Elitch Gardens, and Boulder's Pearl Street Mall. Westminster itself features scenic recreation with numerous lakes, trails, and open spaces; four championship golf courses; and the Sun Microsystems Ice Centre--the largest NHL regulation ice rink in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Nicknamed the "Mile High City" and "Queen City of the Plains," Denver is the capital and the largest city in Colorado. Denver also boasts a highly educated population, with 35% of residents having at least a bachelor's degree.

The combined population of Westminster, Denver, and Boulder is 727,935, with an average annual per capita income of $29,435, which is higher than the national average.

Major employers in this area include:
