"Encyclopedia Seattle."  This is a cool site! It's a site written by Japanese people living in the Seattle area for Japanese people who live in, want to visit, or are just curious about living in Seattle and the United states, but you don't have to be Japanese to enjoy it. There's a lot there! I could spend hours exploring it. My favorite part so far is "phrase of the day." Check it out!
