PICTURE GALLERY - AMERICA
Here you'll find
new pictures ofi Seattle, the capital of Washington State.
The Space
Needle is an observation tower which will give you a nice aerial view
of the city. It is advisable to go on the tower at sunset, when you can
admire the citylights reflecting in the bay.
A big part
of Seattle's econmy relies on Boeing, the Aeronautics industrial
giant which during the WW II camouflaged the rooftops with leaves and
shrubs to protect the workshops from enemy eyes.
Boeing is not far from Seattle, so commuting traffic is heavy. Another
famous industry of the Seattle area is the beloved and hated Microsoft
