西雅图

这里不是威尼斯，但处处可以见到蓝湖汪洋；这里不是赌城，却可以作着淘金的美梦；这里不是巴黎香榭大道，那咖啡飘香浪漫的气氛却丝毫不减；这里正是美国西北最热闹的城市—西雅图。

想到西雅图这个城市，除了浪漫，实在也找不出更适合的字眼来形容它。曾经因为电影「西雅图夜未眠」而声名大噪的浪漫形象，并没有被当作是观光的号召，在市区也找不到相关的产品或是电影海报的图像标志。但是，西雅图所散发出来的气息还是脱离不开浪漫的味道，那是一股自然的呈现，没有经过媒体包装，也没有刻意炒作的商业文化。

追溯西雅图的历史，只有短短的150年，而且大部分的资料记录都是源自于拓荒者广场（Pioneer Square），一群移民客，在公元1851年从纽约来到西雅图，在靠近拓荒者广场的附近登岸扎营，这群人被视为西雅图的拓荒者，因此，有许多街道都以他们的名字来命名作为纪念，例如Denny、Yesler、Bell、Boren等。西雅图位于华盛顿州普捷湾(Puget Sound)，海岸线和湖岸线总长80公里。面积***有218平方公里，人口54万，而距离美国加拿大边境113哩(182公里)。

自远古时期就居住在北美地区的印地安人，靠着打猎和捕鱼维生，在深山林野中过着自给自足的部落生活，他们就是这儿的原住民，只不过他们的历史并没有记录在美国通史里。西雅图的拓荒者们，尊重这群长久居住在艾略特湾（Elliott Bay）一带的度瓦米许（Duwamish）原住民族，就直接将这块移民地的新生地命名为酋长席尔斯（Sealth）的名字，这中间因为一些口语误传，最后便成为Seattle，这就是西雅图市名的由来。

而主要名胜，最受欢迎的城市观光娱乐点包括有西雅图中心和太空针、派克市场、开拓者广场，著名的Nordstorm百货公司、Starbucks咖啡等。喝咖啡，对于西雅图的人而言，是生活中再自然不过的事情，就好象是阳光、空气、花和水一般，是自然存在于日常生活中而不必赘述的一件事。尽管如此，走进西雅图，还是免不了为满街的Espresso而倾倒。从颇具国际连锁架势的Starbucks Coffee、以西雅图直接命名的The Seattle's Best Coffee、来势汹汹远从意大利入侵的Torrefazione Italia以及受到日本媒体青睐的Tully's Coffee，四种知名品牌，在西雅图这个浪漫的咖啡之都，纷纷各领风骚，占据了各个街头，以及重要的商场大楼、购物中心或是机场及车站，都有其不同的风格与特色。此外，还有许多个性咖啡馆躲藏在各社区里不知名的街角，或是街头巷尾经常不奇然出现的Espresso Bar，在西雅图，平均每一百公尺就会看到一个Cafe这样的字眼，多到数不清的咖啡店，让游客也看到傻眼。对于西雅图一词，人们可以很自在地窝在咖啡馆里冥想，可以撑把小伞随意的走在大街上扭腰摆臀。西雅图就是这样的深具格调，应该如何界定，就留给你来此慢慢体验唷。
