marker indicates where Quincy is in relation to Seattle. Quincy sits on cropland while Seattle sits in an urban, built-up area. Seattle, as you can see on the map has water on one side and mountains on the other. Separating these two cities is a large area of Evergreen broadleaf forest mixed with mixed forest. This landscape will impact weather between these two cities. Seattle sits at an altitude of 187 feet and averages 37.13 inches of rain with approximately 147 days a year. Quincy…
