The city nestled by the ocean, the forest, and the mountains

I always wanted to write reports about our surrounding world, more than a journal, a report from the road and/or of the road, a Rick Steves of the Americas. And to begin with, a report about the city I been living most of my life, Seattle WA.

Rick trade mark is to travel through Europe narrating in more and less accurate and articulate way the main touristic attractions, including; food, restaurants, monuments, landmarks, and a little bit of culture and politics.
Seattle is a very cosmopolitan city; all the races and peoples of the world are amongst its inhabitants but in minor scale than Chicago and New York, and more and less like LA and Portland. The shortest sentence to describe Seattle and replace the old “Emerald City” cliché could be something like this; “the city nestled by the ocean, the forest, and the mountains. These headlines are enough by themselves to catch the attention of any tourist and all the tourists of the world.
