The Emerald City: Seattle, Washington
—Helen Yeh
What city has a tower that looks like a spaceship and is the origin of the world's most famous coffee chain? The answer is Seattle. Located in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle may often be rainy, but it's always worth a trip.
Seattle's most famous structure is the 605-foot-tall Space Needle, which was originally built for the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. It looks like a UFO with a set of long, white legs. Take the elevator to the top for excellent views of the city.
Next to the Space Needle is the Museum of Pop Culture. Step inside and you'll find exhibits on film, video games, and Seattle rock musicians. Don't forget the Marvel Comics exhibit, which features original art and more!
Feeling hungry? Head to Pike Place Market. This public market is the home of the original Starbucks, which opened in 1971. Unlike other Starbucks stores, this one has no seats. Once you've got your coffee, get yourself a Seattle-style hot dog, with cream cheese and onions.
翡翠之城：西雅圖璀璨之旅
什麼城市有一座看起來像太空船的高塔，而且是世界最著名的咖啡連鎖店的源頭？答案是西雅圖。西雅圖位於西北太平洋地區，這裡或許常下雨，但總是值得一遊。
西雅圖最著名的建築物是高六百零五英尺的太空針塔，這座塔原本是為了一九六二年西雅圖世界博覽會所建造。它看起來像是有一組白色長支柱的飛碟。搭電梯到塔頂去看看這座城市的美景吧。
和太空針塔相鄰的是流行文化博物館。進到館內，你會找到電影、電玩以及西雅圖搖滾音樂家的展品。別忘了漫威漫畫展，此展的特色是漫畫原稿及其他更多物件！
覺得肚子餓了嗎？前往派克市場吧。這個公立市場是一九七一年開業的星巴克創始店的所在地。和其他星巴克不同的是這間店沒有座位。在你買了咖啡後，也替自己買個西雅圖風味的熱狗，上面有著奶油起士和洋蔥。 |
