It takes eight hours to fly from Paris to Seattle by plane, but due to the time difference, when they arrived at Tacoma International Airport after taking off at 10:20, it was only 12 noon.
"I think we need to rest for a few hours first." After leaving the airport, Joan, opening her umbrella in the drizzling rain, said, "Eight hours on a plane makes one's legs go numb."
"You're right, this kind of long travel is really awful," Leonard nodded in agreement and said. "I really can't understand how some people can still wander around after long journeys."
Seattle was founded on December 2, 1869, named after Chief Seattle (of course, there is no chief now). It is located on the Pacific coast in the Northwest Region of Washington State, United States, between Puget Sound and Washington Lake.
The city lies to the west of the Olympic Mountains and to the east of Washington Lake, about 174 kilometers from the Canada–United States border. Its total area is 369.2 square kilometers.
