I spent 4 days in Seattle while attending Microsoft Mvp Global Summit 2008. Seattle is known as a technological city beacuse of the settlement of Microsoft and the Boeing Factory. However Seattle has a quiet and peaceful life style. Another intesting fact about Seattle is that the weather is cloudy and dark 75% of a year. It is also possible to see marines and houses  in the middle of nature that impress you. Even not as high as in Chicago you have the chance to see the city from the top by visiting Space Needle. If you have leisure time, you can join Underground Tour to visit Old Seattle or plan a trip to Seattle Aquarium to view sea life closer and see surprisingly cute animals. If you are enthusiastic about technology attending a tour to Boeing Factory is a great opportunity that you should not miss.
