Seattle Space Needle

The space needle is the main attraction in Seattle Washington. It was built in 1962 for the World’s Fair. In an article regarding the history of the space needle it says, “The Space Needle officially opened the first day of the World’s Fair. During the expo the tower hosted an estimated 2.65 million visitors. They included world celebrities including Elvis Presley, the Shah and Empress of Iran, Prince Philip of Great Britain, Bobby Kennedy, Walter Cronkite, John Wayne, Bob Hope, Chubby Checker, Billy Graham, John Glenn, Jonas Salk, Carol Channing, Neil Armstrong, Lyndon Johnson, Walt Disney and scores of others. The mast originally topping the structure was a natural gas torch that was lit up at night in rainbow colors” (Space Needle, 2018, pg. 6).]]> 2018-09-19 23:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/283676474 162909 https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/283677507 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC-
Washington Mountains

The Washington Mountains are one spectacular site. These mountains are an example of a Physical Characteristic because they were naturally made. There are many mountains in Washington State but the main mountain that attracts people is:

Mt. Rainier

Washington State Counties

Washington State has 39 counties. These counties are a clear representation of what a formal region is because the government created these boarders to be strictly maintained by their physical attributes.

Washington State Area codes

An area code is a three-digit number that begins your telephone number. It identifies one of the telephone services located within your specific area code. In Washington State there are six area codes. This is a form of a functional region because, it services a purpose to the people within that area code to receive and address calls through their telephone services.

Washington State Cultural

Washington is known to be nonreligious state. In an article I found it says, "Around 35% of the state's population consider themselves religious, with around 12% of these identify themselves as Catholic. Other than Christian denominations, such as the Mormons, Baptist, and Pentecostal churches have small minorities. Compared to the rest of our country, Washington State is not considered a religious state"(World Travel Guide, 2013, pg 1).  This is an example of a perceptual region because it explains how people are viewed in Washington State. ]]> 2018-09-20 01:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/283694969 162909 https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/283873600 PUSH FACTOR
Washington State Property Taxes

Property Taxes are very high in Washington State, in fact, they are one of the highest in the country. Its about $1,000 dollars more than the average property taxes in America.
This is a push factor because if the property taxes are so high people will not want to move there.

Washington State's Jobs

Washington State has offered many new jobs to the public. Due to having big companies located in the state of Washington employment is more needed. In an article written by  Ron Stack of US New and Report he states," Washington created more new new jobs in 2017 than most states. Also in 2017, Forbes.com predicted that Washington will also be a top 10 job creator in the future. This is exactly what you’d expect from a state where some of the largest companies such as Amazon, Microsoft and Boeing are located" (Stack, 2018, pg. 5). ]]> 2018-09-20 13:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/283878685 162909 https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/283889770 MODIFICATION
Washington State Bridge

The Astoria-Megler Bridge is stretched between Astoria, Oregon and Point Ellice near Megler Washington, it is placed over the Columbia River. This is a form of modification because they changed their environment to fit their needs.

Washington State Shellfish Industry

Washington State has one of the biggest shellfish industries in the country. They base their industry off of the Puget Sound, located in Seattle. The business itself brings in over $100 million dollars in sales every year. This is an example of dependence because the shellfish industry relies the Puget Sound for the shellfish to be produced in. ]]> 2018-09-20 13:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/283896979 162909 https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/284154331 ADAPTATION
Washington State Volcanoes

In 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted, it killing 57 people, destroying 27 bridges, and eliminating almost 200 homes. No one was prepared for the eruption, and this why there were so many catastrophic effects. Now Washington has Safety and Preparedness laws about town evacuations near volcanoes. This is an example of adaptation because people in those located areas have to be more cautious and aware about volcanoes . ]]> 2018-09-20 21:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/284154331 162909 https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/284160149 ABSOLUTE LOCATION

Seattle's location coordinates are 47 degrees North and 122 degrees West. This is an example of absolute location because it specifically tells you where something is. ]]> 2018-09-20 21:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/284160149 162909 https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/284161007 RELATIVE LOCATION

Seattle Pike Place Market it located in downtown Seattle near the Seattle Aquarium. This is an example of relative location because it doesn't tell where exactly it is, but it does tell the relative location of the place. ]]> 2018-09-20 21:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/284161007 162909 https://padlet.com/162909/qj67i25gkd47/wish/284162765
