Housing in the Santa Clara region of California is insanely expensive. Tech companies have taken to building modern day versions of mill towns just so their employees. This is the 1988 Laurel Twincam 24V Turbo Medalist CLUB-L, which means it’s a top-of-the-line C33 Laurel, and I’m fairly sure it also means that it has Nissan’s.

Seattle - Wikitravel. Seattle. Seattle is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation listings — have a look at each of them.

Seattle, Washington, [3. Pacific Northwest. Located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in King County, of which it is the county seat, and overlooking Elliott Bay, Seattle is nicknamed The Emerald City. The city is a damp green gem, with an abundance of evergreen trees throughout, and spectacular views of the Cascade mountains to the east and the Olympic mountains to the west. The cultural and business center of the Pacific Northwest, the city and its surrounding areas are the home of the Space Needle, Boeing's aircraft assembly plants, Microsoft, Amazon. Costco, Nintendo of America, Starbucks, T- Mobile, and the University of Washington, as well as a vibrant arts and music scene and an excellent park system. Districts[edit]Seattleites usually describe Seattle locations in terms of "neighborhoods." This is partly because of a potentially confusing system of street addresses (see Get around).

The breakdown into neighborhoods is informal and mutates over time, and while there are often signs on major arterial roads to let you know that you are "entering" a particular neighborhood, the placement of these signs is arbitrary and occasionally controversial. Still, knowing what neighborhood you're looking for can be a good sanity check when you're looking for an address. A Seattleite would describe 1. Ave SW as being in West Seattle, and 1. NE 4. 5th St as being in the U- District (University District), which you'll note are diagonally opposite on the map. See Get around for an explanation. The Seattle City clerk maintains an interactive map [3.

Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods[edit]Overview of Seattle districts. Downtown. Seattle's retail core, home to the waterfront, the Pike Place Market, and some of the most stunning architecture in the city.

Capitol Hill- Central District. A diverse, densely- packed cluster of neighborhoods, rich and poor, from the nightlife of Pike- Pine to the quiet residences of Madison Park. This area is also said to be the gay capital of Seattle. North of the Lake Washington Ship Canal[edit]Ballard. A mostly residential area, home to the canal locks.

The area is known for its Scandinavian heritage and thriving Historic Downtown Ballard. Fremont and Wallingford.

Home to the sprawling University of Washington campus and its adjacent neighborhoods. South of Downtown and I- 9.

So. Do- Georgetown. Continuing south of downtown past the sports stadiums, this industrial district contains the well- hidden but thriving Georgetown neighborhood.

Beacon Hill- South Seattle- Columbia City- Rainier Beach. Beacon Hill is the newest neighborhood to explode with easy access via Beacon Hill Lite Rail Station. Columbia City also hosts many restaurants, theaters and clubs. One amostly residential area that's home to the lovely Seward Park. Rainier Beach is still an affordable residential area to live. West Seattle. A scenic residential area with numerous parks and good vistas over the harbor.

The "Eastside" refers to the region east of Lake Washington comprising the suburbs of Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond. Understand[edit]The Space Needle with Downtown in the Background. Seattle was founded on the rough, physical industries of fishing, logging and coal mining, with San Francisco as her primary customer.

Boeing, founded in 1. Greater Seattle's primary industry as natural resources were depleted. The region's strong economic dependence on Boeing gave the oil recession and cancellation of the SST (Supersonic Transport) in the early '7. Over the last twenty- five years, the area has become less seedy and more developed with the massive influx of Microsoft money (and other software and biotech proceeds), but Pioneer Square is still the original Skid Row. Yesler Way was a "Skid Road" for logs skidded downhill using dogfish oil to Henry Yesler's lumber mill).

Seattle is also substantially influenced by the presence of the University of Washington (the largest single campus in the state and recipient of over $1 billion in research grants annually), as well as multiple smaller colleges and universities. Seattle is also the center for financial, public health, and justice systems in the northwestern part of the U. S. Culture[edit]Seattle is historically a very diverse city and multiculturalism is seen as a virtue. Watch The Baker Online Mic. Discrimination based on race is considered extremely offensive.

Locals have long talked of the "Seattle Freeze," referring to the cold politeness of residents. The theory is that while locals are very polite and warm on first interaction, most residents are also very reserved and interactions rarely lead to real acts of friendship (an invitation to dinner, personal conversations, etc.).

For visitors it is best to treat this as shyness- -expect to make all the "first moves" to meet people here. Residents' shyness also extends to anger and annoyance. Locals often make fun of themselves for their passive aggressive culture, where even in the most upsetting circumstances they will retain their polite nature. Climate[edit]Climate.

Check Seattle's 7 day forecast at NOAAWhile Seattle is well known for its rain and dark, gloomy skies, it may surprise many how pleasant the weather can be, particularly during the summer months. November through March brings the worst of the unpleasant weather, with cool temperatures, heavy cloud cover and rain falling on most days. The short days and low angle of the sun during these months only add to the dark, gloomy feeling which is very unpleasant and depressing for some.

The coldest month is January with average lows in the mid to upper 3. C), with temperatures occasionally dropping below freezing. Most precipitation falls as a light rain, or a drizzle, with snow falling in the city only occasionally (though the surrounding mountains receive heaps and heaps of snow). Most cold- weather systems come from the north, which generally results in dry weather when temperatures are below freezing. Nonetheless, Seattle is hit by a major snow storm about every 2- 3 years on average, which can paralyze the city’s transportation network (hills and ill- prepared drivers are two commonly cited reasons for such).

Cassini Stared Into Saturn's Polar Abyss, and It's Creepy As Hell. As Cassini’s tour of Saturn comes to a close, NASA’s getting a bit nostalgic. Yesterday, the space agency released a photo of Saturn’s North pole the doomed spacecraft took on April 2. Grand Finale. It’s almost poetic to have a photo of Cassini staring into the void before it perishes within it. According to NASA, Cassini snapped the picture when it was hovering 1. Saturn. The planet’s North pole is notorious for the 1,2. Cassini has photographed many times.

The hexagonal jet stream surrounding that monster cyclone creates a unique visual that’s absolutely haunting at any vantage point. Here’s that Cassini image in full: For context, here’s that hexagonal storm in color filters: Cassini has only three orbits left in its 2. On its final dive on September 1. Saturn’s atmosphere with its antenna pointing toward Earth, transmitting everything it can until the atmosphere overpowers it. So long and thanks for all the pics, Cassini.[NASA].
