Describe Seattle

Improved Essays
One of America’s greatest leaders, Ronald Reagan, once said, “ It’s a beautiful city, great setting, you open your front door and the air smells like pine and the sea.” It’s true, you swing open your front door and right away your hit with a rush of pine and sea water. Nothing can beat it, it’s just a great city. Located in the north-west part of Washington resides this large and stunning city, filled with laughter, happiness, and joy. The city we are talking about is the big-hearted city of Seattle. I’ve always been going to Seattle, year after year. With each year comes a new journey, but that’s the best part. Seattle is very alive, and there is always something different and new thing to do. I have done a lot in Seattle, I’ve seen the space needle, the troll under the bridge, been inside Pike Place market various times, and much more.

I know this cause both my parents lived about an hour out of Seattle for pretty much their whole life, until they moved to California and had my brother and I. …show more content…
Football reigns king over this energetic city. The Seahawks have been a pretty dominant NFL team throughout the past few years, winning the Super Bowl in 2013. If football isn’t really your thing, the baseball and the soccer team are also very interesting to watch. The Mariners, the baseball team, is very popular for their player, Ken Griffey Jr. who was arguably the best player to ever play on this team. One of favorite memories of Seattle is when my parents surprised me and took me and my brother to a mariners game where we were so close to the field we could hear the players talking, and the crack of the bat and the pop of the

    For the next five years I lived in White Plains, New York and living there was unique, in that owning a vehicle was obsolete. I was able to walk to the store, the park and to school.

    In 1865, the Duwamish people were the subject of a law banning them from living within city limits - despite the fact that their chief gave the city of Seattle its name. Between 1855 and 1904, ninety four Duwamish longhouses were destroyed. In 2009, the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center was opened - the first longhouse to be built in Seattle in 115 years. The center is designed, funded and managed by the Duwamish, for the Duwamish.
