How is Seattle, USA?

Seattle is the largest city in Washington state and the core city in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is also a modern city with high-tech, aerospace, medical and other major industries. Amazon, HP, Boeing and other companies are located here. In terms of environment, the urban construction is very good, it is close to the bay, and when the weather is good, you can see Mount Rainier. There are national parks such as Rainier and Olympus as well as many national forest parks nearby, and the air quality is good. The skyline of the city center is also very representative. In terms of education, the flagship campus of the University of Washington is in Seattle. This university is considered a famous school, especially good at computers, medicine, nursing, physics, geography, geology, astronomy, statistics, etc. Its campus is beautiful, especially the cherry blossoms. In the blooming season, the Huskies of UW is also a traditional powerhouse in the NCAA. Its home stadium, the Huskies Stadium, is known as one of the most beautiful stadiums in the United States and can accommodate more than 70,000 people. In addition, Seattle also has professional teams, such as the Mariners in baseball, the Seahawks in football, and the Sounders in football. In terms of disadvantages, the first is that rainy weather is common in this city, which is not good news for people who like sunshine; the second is that the geological conditions of this city are unstable. It is located above the subduction zone of the Huan de Fuca geological plate, an area where earthquakes and volcanoes are very common. The U.S. Geological Survey believes that Seattle is the second major city in the United States to be threatened by strong earthquakes, second only to Memphis, because there has not been a major earthquake nearby for a long time, and a large amount of energy has been accumulated in the plate crust. Once released, It will trigger a super strong earthquake; and Mount Rainier is also an active volcano that may erupt at any time. It is in the same mountain system as the St. Laurent volcano that erupted on a large scale decades ago, posing a certain threat to urban areas.
