Seattle as the CITY.
There has been one thing that I've been meaning to do for quite some time. I really believe that Seattle should be referred to as the City. Lots of other metro areas are able to use the term to refer to the city that dominates the area financially and culturally and we should do the same. San Francisco is the City in the bay area, Chicago is the City in Chicagoland, and New York is the City in the tri-state region. Seattle, like these cities, dominates the Puget Sound region and should be referred to as the City. So instead of saying, "I'm taking the ferry to Seattle", one should say, "I'm taking the ferry into the City." I will now encourage everyone i know to begin this transition. Its only a matter of time.
The following is a semi-relevant conversation overheard while disembarking the ferry in the City.
Little Girl: Are we in Seattle Now?
Dad: Yes.
Little Girl: This is where Godzilla lives! . . . and King Kong!
