Seattle’s landscape is a feast for the senses. The iconic Space Needle and the futuristic vibe of the Seattle Center are perfectly complemented by the serene waters of Puget Sound and the majestic peaks of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains. The cluster of skyscrapers downtown, including the Columbia Center, adds to the city’s dynamic skyline, all while being nestled in lush greenery. It’s this striking juxtaposition of urban life and natural splendor that drew me in and continues to captivate visitors from around the world.

西雅圖的風景是一場感官盛宴。標誌性的太空針塔和西雅圖中心的未來主義氛圍與普吉特灣寧靜的海水以及喀斯喀特和奧林匹克山的雄偉山峰完美相得益彰。市中心的摩天大樓群（包括哥倫比亞中心）增添了城市充滿活力的天際線，同時坐落在鬱鬱蔥蔥的綠色植物中。正是城市生活與自然美景的驚人並置吸引了我，並繼續吸引來自世界各地的遊客。

The world’s first Starbucks coffee shop opened at Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, in 1971. This location is the most famous of the coffee chain’s establishments and retains its original look and feel. However, there is a little-known fact: this is not actually the first Starbucks store; it is the second location. The original Starbucks café was situated at 2000 Western Avenue from 1971 to 1976 before being relocated to 1912 Pike Place Market, its current location, due to the heavy foot traffic in the area.

1971年，全球第一家星巴克咖啡店在華盛頓州西雅圖的派克市場（Pike Place Market）開業，這是咖啡連鎖店中最著名的一家，並且在同一位置仍然可以看到其原始外觀。不過你應該要知道一個小秘密，這實際上不是星巴克的第一家商店，而是第二家商店。在真正的創始店開店後，創始者才決定在1912年搬到幾個街區外的派克市場，以利用繁華的人流去開業市場。 從1971年至1976年，第一家星巴克咖啡廳位於西大街2000號。 

From this iconic vantage point, you will witness the city skyline in all its glory, with the dazzling Space Needle standing tall against a backdrop of shimmering skyscrapers. But it’s not just the skyline that captivates; the vibrant hues of sunset transition into the cool blues and golds of night, creating a picture-perfect scene that feels almost cinematic.

從這個標誌性的有利位置，你可以目睹城市天際線的所有輝煌，還有那西雅圖標誌的太空針塔。但令人著迷的不僅是天際線；日落的充滿活力的色調過渡到夜晚涼爽的藍色和金色，創造出一個幾乎像電影一樣的完美畫面。

正如我之前所說的，市場是將各種生活結合在一起的一個縮影，你可以看到生活和朴素延續了當地人的生活。 我認為，如果你出國旅遊，千萬別錯過本地市場！ 希望你能享受在西雅圖的派克市場（Pike Place Market）。
