Qansa, maybe you should not talk about what you do not know.
Why are people so stereatypical with Seattle and rain just cuz Seattle is the Emerald City and Washington State the Evergreen State. Dude Chicago, New York, and practically the whole eastern seaboard of the U.S get more precipitation than us (source: the world wide web).
Actually Seattle has the same weather as Italy, Spain, Northern Lebanon, basically Mediterranean weather sxb. The whole rain and Seattle thing is cuz all of our rain comes in the fall and early winter, whereas all the other cities it is spread out. Also Seattle is located between the Cascade Mountains and the Olympic Mountains, so the land always stays moist and that is why it is green year-round ninyaho.
Ask people who live here, we have the best summers, the best springs, and the best winters,etc. Are you forgetting Seattle has consistently be labeled the "most fittest city" in America and that Seattlites are the most active people in the whole country? How can this be if the rain stereotype was true?
Actually we are not getting our "first tram" now, we have had the Monorail since the 60's but now the light rail will be running from the airport between seattle and tacoma all the way to the north. Even without that we have the best public transportation system in the nation and this is the first thing all the Somalis who move from Ohio, Minneapolis, etc notice basically how fast and widespread public transportation is.
As for Jobs, don't think about it sxb. Practically ALL of the the United State's tech companies, biomedical companies are located here. And this is just a list of the companies located in Seattle who are big, starting with the top three American companies of Boeing, Microsoft, and Starbucks and also Amazon.com, RealNetworks, AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile USA, Seattle's Best Coffee, Tully's, Nordstrom, Barnes and Nobles, Costco, Expedia.com, Nintendo of America, etc.
Why do you think in the Chinese president's last visit, he first came to Seattle before going to Washington, D.C and signed deals with Boeing and Microsoft in Bill Gates house before going to meet Bush?
