Rain City


La ciudad de Seattle tiene una reputación por sus lluvias frecuentes, aunque "la ciudad lluviosa" solo recibe unos 970 mm de precipitación por año, menos que casi todas las ciudades mayores de la costa este de los Estados Unidos como por ejemplo, la ciudad de Nueva York que recibe en promedio 1200 mm. Aunque llueve mucho más que otros lugares del mundo como Madrid (430 mm) o Ciudad de México (790 mm). La fama mundial de Seattle por lluvia es debido al hecho de que casi toda su precipitación cae en la forma de llovizna o lluvia ligera. O sea, aunque llueve con regularidad, no llueve muy fuerte.

...
También es conocida por la gran cantidad de café que se consume, además de por ser originarias de aquí cafeterías como Starbucks, Seattle's Best Coffee y Tully's.

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do iI do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm I´m gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends.


Don't worry. I will be ok.
I(L)Seattle.
