Here is not Venice, but everywhere can be seen blue sea; here is not a casino, but there is a place that dreams of making money can be realized; here is not the Avenue des Champs Elysees of Paris, but the romantic atmosphere of coffee’s fragrance is not diminished. Seattle also become famous because the film " Sleepless in Seattle "——Preface.
题记—这里不是威尼斯，但处处可见蓝色汪洋；这里不是赌城，却可以做着淘金的美梦；这里不是巴黎香榭丽舍大道，那咖啡飘香的浪漫气息却丝毫不减，它也曾经因为电影《西雅图夜未眠》而声名大噪。

西雅图是个很宜居的城市，它以65分的总成绩在美国健康指数(The American Fitness Index)里排名第6。西雅图城市依山而建，拥有森林，湖泊和雪山，是户外运动的天堂。除了丰富的自然资源，气候湿润温和，空气质量也特别好，安宁而舒适。

被称为蓝色硅谷的西雅图是美国太平洋西北区最大的城市，西雅图不仅有微软公司还有波音公司。坐落在太平洋沿岸，常年被青山绿水环绕，南面不远处就是美国著名的瑞尼尔山，它也是商业，文化和高科技中心，创建于1869年，只有短短的150年历史，它的名字来自于原住民酋长希尔斯。华盛顿湖西邻西雅图，东濒贝尔维尤，南接伦顿，北靠肯莫尔，湖的中央还包围着默瑟岛。

在路上看到了第一家Starbucks的旧址，店面也不大，它就那么安静地立在街边，微笑着迎接每一位前来的客人，丝毫看不出它为自己拥有的具有重要历史意义的身份而张扬。
On the road，we can see the site of the first Starbucks, the store is not too big. it's so quiet in the street, smiling and greeting everyone to come…

他们把这座塔叫“太空针”, 太空针塔是美国西北太平洋地区的一座主要地标，西雅图市的必游景点，西雅图的太空针塔，就好比纽约的帝国大厦，巴黎的埃菲尔铁塔，或者是台北的101，都有着重要的意义。太空针塔 Space Needle 主要是为1962年的21世纪博览会而修建，塔的高184米，最宽处为42米，总重9550吨，它可以承受每小时320公里的风力和9.1级地震，并且还有25支避雷针来抵挡电击。站在space needle 上还能看到比尔盖兹的家的方位。谢谢大家聆听我的西雅图故事，希望之后可以继续分享给大家我的美国游记。
