Seattle is a beautiful city. It is one of the most developed cities in the United States. You can see tall buildings right when you enter Seattle, with the Space Needle as a landmark. The view is amazing, especially at night. Looking out the window, you can see sparkling lights everywhere, but it is a quiet and peaceful city compared to other big cities.
