Seattle is known, and really grew, because of it's waterfront.
This is a major port, and shipping center, as well as a major
landing for a considerable fishing fleet. Seattle is actually
closer to Japan, and to China, than it is to New York. In
addition to all of this, Seattle is the gateway to Alaska, even
to the extent that many Alaskans joke, that the capitol of
Alaska is Seattle. This bustling city has not become a major
center for cruise ships. Still, with some of today's huge ships,
and with the automation of everything, far fewer ports are
needed, even for today's increased traffic. As a result, many of
the old ports have become centers of commerce, recreation, and
tourism. Tour boats, shops, restaurants, and a considerable
aquarium, along with a maritime museum, and convention center,
now lure visitors to the old docks. |
