Editing Seattle (section)

==General Information==
[http://www.seattle.gov Seattle] is the State of Washington's largest city, with an estimated population of 582,000 and a greater metro population of about 3 million. The city is located at approximately the north-south midway point on the eastern shore of Puget Sound. It is often called ''The Emerald City''

Although it has a reputation for being very wet (an image often propagated by its residents), Seattle typically has warm, dry summers and is in fact beautiful when the sun is out. May and June can be variable: warm and dry one day, cold and wet the next. The summer starts in July. Although it frequently rains on the 4th of July, it is usually warm.  The warm dry weather usually lasts through the middle of October.  By Halloween, it is cold and wet, and the city will stay that way until April or May, when it turns warm, although still dark and rainy.  There is usually a week of glorious weather in February, although that week has been known to occur in early March.  It is a false spring, as the crocuses and sun come out, and people are tempted to plant in their garden.  But be warned, there are still four months of dark, wet, and cold weather ahead. 

From various places within the city, one stumbles upon unexpected views of the Olympic Mountains to the west or the Cascade Range to the east, or both, as well as Mount Rainier to the south.
