На Тихоокеанском побережье США расположился замечательный, современный город Сиэтл, символом которого является Спейс-Нидл, башня, находящаяся на территории выставочного комплекса Seattle Center.

Эта узнаваемая достопримечательность представляет собой башню высотой почти 184 метра, более 40 метров шириной, а также она построена так, что выдержит ураганы с порывами ветра до 320 км/ч. Особенность этого величайшего сооружения в его обзорной площадке, расположенной на высоте 159 метров, где находится ресторан Sky City и магазин подарков. Каждый гость города просто обязан побывать в Керри Парке, пейзажи которого не оставляют равнодушными даже жителей Сиэтла. И эта не единственный знаменитый парк города. Также стоит посетить Гэзуоркс Парк, с великолепным видам на прибрежный Даунтаун. А еще в городе есть множество, интересных для посещения, рынков, в числе которых и Майк маркет-рынок морепродуктов, который также может похвастаться своеобразной сценой для уличных артистов, что, несомненно, делает его очень популярным для туристов, а также Пайк-Плейс-маркет — популярный среди туристов общественный рынок.

Ketchikan  is a city in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Alaska, United States, the southeasternmost city in Alaska. With a population at the 2010 census of 8,050, it is the fifth-most populous city in the state, and tenth-most populous community when census-designated places are included. The surrounding borough, encompassing suburbs both north and south of the city along the Tongass Highway (most of which are commonly regarded as a part of Ketchikan, albeit not a part of the city itself), plus small rural settlements accessible mostly by water, registered a population of 13,477 in that same census. Estimates put the 2017 population at 13,754 people. Incorporated on August 25, 1900, Ketchikan is the earliest extant incorporated city in Alaska, because consolidation or unification elsewhere in Alaska resulted in dissolution of those communities' city governments. Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, so named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver.

Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. "Ketchikan" comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean "the river belonging to Kitschk"; other accounts claim it means "Thundering Wings of an Eagle". In modern Tlingit this name is rendered as Kichx̱áan.
