Surprising Skyline
Test your mastery of U.S. geography, and guess which city is host to the skyline above:
A. San Jose
B. Phoenix
C. Nashville
D. Portland
Answer: none of the above.
Give up?
It’s Seattle suburb Bellevue, home to over two dozen skyscrapers — roughly equivalent to San Jose or Phoenix (my family visited the Pacific Northwest earlier this Summer).
Combine Bellevue and Seattle’s downtowns, and you’d have a skyline rivaling Houston’s.
P.S.: the mountains (Cascades) in the background rule out Nashville.
Meanwhile, there ARE mountains ringing Phoenix — it’s located in the “Valley of the Sun” — but they’re only around 3,000 feet.
Ditto San Jose, which sits in another well-known valley (as in, “Silicon”) . . .
