Seattle a great place to work & enjoy

Seattle is the largest city in the U.S. state of Washington. It is the home of the Space Needle and a monorail, which were built for the 1962 World's Fair. It is also the American headquarters of Starbucks coffee, Amazon.com, Washington Mutual, and Nordstrom. It was home to Air Bus aerocraft manufacture. In the 1980s and 1990s, grunge music artists like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and others made the city really popular. It is also the setting of the TV shows Here Come the Brides, Frasier, and Grey's Anatomy.


Seattle, WA Seattle has many sports teams, including the Seattle Mariners (baseball), the Seattle Supersonics (basketball), the Seattle Seahawks (American football), and the Seattle Storm (women's basketball) . Seattle has a lot of water around it, with Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean to the west and Lake Washington to the east.


Seattle keeps raining most of the time & the rest of the time its either cloudly or its snowing. It rairly gets any sun. People who are asthamatic would find this city very difficult to cope with.


Lots of activity can be done here from mountain climbing to river rafting to ariel side seeing from the space needle. You can also get a great glimpse of the river Samamish & the Pacific Ocean. Bill Gates lives in a tiny island & the wold HQ of Microsoft is in Redmond.


The City is very big & diverse.


Seattle: A Lot To Do, But Bring An Umbrella!
Dec 11, 2003 01:16 PM 2290 Views

At the beginning of November, I headed to Bellingham, Washington for a conference with the Residence Hall Association of my school. We had to fly in and out of Seattle, so, on the last day, we spent a few hours in Seattle before going to the airport to catch our flight. Since I only spent a few hours in Seattle itself, I don't feel as though I should write a review on it. However, I was so taken with the place, I want to let everyone know what I think. So, I have decided to write about the very few places that I got to see while I was in Seattle itself, and try to give everyone a hint on what to do should they find themselves in Seattle for less than five hours.


Pike's Place Market


-------------------


This place is so cool. A friend of mine that was with me, Jen, was told that she had to go to Pike's Place Market while she was in Seattle. So, as soon as we got off of the bus, we bolted straight to Pine Street. We ran up the stairs like Rocky and were completely awed with what we saw. To tell you the truth, it reminded me of Quincy Market in Boston. There are little shops everywhere! Fresh fish seems to be the biggest deal, as well as little knick-knacks you can pick up at little stand-type tables set up along the hallways. It's like an enormous flea market, only better. There is so much to buy, and even more to look at. It's open 7 days a week, except on major holidays. From what I understand, it was founded somewhere in the 1900's-- 1907, I think. It's a really neat place to go. You could spend hours there.


The Waterfront


--------------


I saw a seal!!! There are actually seals that hang out on the docks at the Waterfront. Each block is broken up into piers. On one of these piers, you can find the Seattle Aquarium, which I shall write about a little later. It was rainy, so we weren't able to spend a lot of time in this area. Apparently, though, Pier Six from The Real World is a major attraction. We were in the 50s, so we didn't get to go see the loft they lived in. There are several restaurants, not to mention photo-op places if it's nice out. I wish it was nice while I was there so I could have hung out on the pier a little more.


Malls Galore


------------


Alright, so maybe you're not their to go to the mall. Perhaps you'd just like to see the sights. Not me! Jen and I booked right to the mall. Along the way, we stopped at See's Candies, that famous candy store from San Francisco. Across the street was one huge mall. Across from that mall, as well as adjoining to it, were two other malls. You can find SO many stores there: Victoria's Secret, J. Crew, Bath & Body Works... You name it, and it's probably there. The subway (whatever it's called in Seattle) runs through one of the malls and costs a mere $1.25 to ride.


Seattle Aquarium


----------------


This aquarium is located right on the pier. I believe it's pier 60, but I'm not entirely sure. I didn't go in, but the other people in my group did. Apparently, there's lots to see and more to buy in the gift shops. I wish I could have gone, but I just didn't have the time. The people that did go, however, said it was one of the best aquariums they had been to. So, if this type of thing is your bag, maybe you should pay it a visit.



In conclusion, I really liked Seattle. I wish I had more time to visit. I do plan on going again, but I'm just not sure when. Maybe I'll have a connecting flight through Seattle and get stranded for a while. That would give me more time to check out the city sights!


If you have a chance to go to Seattle, you totally should. Things I didn't get to do were: get a cup of coffee, visit the Real World pier, go to the Space Needle, check out a museum, go to Planet Hollywood and/or The Hard Rock Cafe, and visit with a friend of mine. Maybe next time I'll have more time.


SEATTLE - An emarald city
Jul 31, 2001 08:48 AM 2916 Views

Seattle is one of the important commercial nerve centres of US and is located along the west coast in Washington state(dont confuse this with Washington DC ),the evergreen state .This is the first place I landed in US and my my ,what a city !!!!! A city nestled among the sparkling blue lakes,rivers,ocean ,mountain ranges,snow capped peaks, with its distinctive modern skyline of glass skyscrapers gleaming across the curved Elliot bay.Hence this place is known as ''The emarald city '' or ''The liquid city''.


Now lemme give the outline of the complex landscape of this area. Seattle is jostled on a narrow strip of land between the 18 mile long Lake Washington 'n Puget Sound .To the east r the volcanic peaks of the Cascade Range with snowcapped Mount Rainier which measures14,411 feet 'n teases the towering skyscrapers 'n to the west are the jagged Olympic Mountains. Just to the north of downtown, the city is bisected by the Lake Washington Ship Canal that joins into Lake Union 'n Lake Washington from the Puget Sound.


This is also the home for some of the names that revolutionised the present day existence like Boeing 'n Microsoft 'n hordes of software companies.(Just praying that they can sustain the present day recession .)


The best part of this place r the lovely cozy residential areas which r situated in the surrounding serene lush green hills like Newport Hills,Bellevue,Mercer Island etc with view of those lovely bays ,shimmering lakes,distant skyscrapers 'n is virtually insulated from the throbbing urban binge .Believe me,on a bright sunny day ,the view is absolutely breathtaking ,'n the waters will be swarming with hi-speed boats 'n adventure seekers.But as all good things comes in small packages in life ,there r few fleeting days that blue skies grace the Emerald City,as there will be a slight drizzle or chilling most of the times in a year.


Okay coming to the main tourist attractions ,here r a few of 'em:


SPACE NEEDLE:This 600ft flying-saucer-tipped Space Needle tower, now the symbol of Seattle,is something of an eiffel tower for the local ppl .This gives a 520' panaromic view of the city 'n its surroundings 'n if u r lucky with good weather ,marvellous view of the gigantic snow capped peaks of Mt Rainier 'n other mountain ranges .But the best view is reserved from the revolving restaurant at the top ,especially at the evening .


EXPERIENCE MUSIC PROJECT: This is one place ,which one sh'd never miss,especially the music buffs.This is a museum built as a homage to guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, 'n traces the roots 'n paths of present day American popular music culture.The museum has a dizzying array of interactive 'n electronic experiences,gigantic video screens 'n includes ''Sound Lab'' where aspiring rockers get computer-aided music lessons.Each visitor is provided with a Museum Exhibit Guide,a wireless headphones that let users hear recordings 'n narration 'n guides u thro' the museum. There's also a video arcade, nightclub 'n amusement park.Over the weekends lots 'n lots of concerts r slated .Its a complete one day affair out here.


SEATTLE CRUISES: A cruise thro' the surrounding lakes,islands 'n a spectacular view of the skyscrapers in the evenings. Ha ! 'n also the boat house that's featured in the movie ''Sleapless in Seattle''.


BOEING's MUSEUM OF FLIGHT: That traces the evolution of present day aircraft industry,avioincs technolgy,space tech etc etc


Other things to follow r Pacific Science Center ,Seattle Aquarium ,Snoqualmie Falls,Seattle Monorail .


Apart from all this what better than simply strolling downtown for lots of window shopping.If u r here in summer ,the opening parade of Seafair along 4th avenue that lasts for nearly 3 hours is not to be missed. Lots of sporting events this time of the year ranging from hi-speed boating to baseball ( well this is new for a change ).Visit the famous punjabi restaurant ''Pabla'' downtown ,if u eagerly looking for some good Indian food,which is one thing that I really miss bigtime.
