About How to Fall in Love in a Time of Unnameable Disaster. . .Acid rainstorms have transformed New York City into a toxic wasteland, cutting its remaining citizens off from one another. In one apartment building, an unlikely family of humans and ghosts survives. Mira reels from a devastating breakup with her partner, Mal, whose whereabouts are unknown, while her mother is plagued by furious dreams and her grandfather, Grandpa Why, stakes his claims as a rambunctious ghost. Across the hall, the cockroach Shin, also a ghost. As the world around them worsens, each character must learn to redefine what it means to live, die, and love at the end of the world. Muriel Leung is the author of the novel How to Fall in Love in a Time of Unnameable Disaster (W.W. Norton & Company), the Poetry Society of America’s 2022 Four Quartets Prize winning Imagine Us, The Swarm (Nightboat Books), Bone Confetti (Noemi Press), and Images Seen to Images Felt (Antenna) in collaboration with artist Kristine Thompson. She received her PhD in Creative Writing and Literature from University of Southern California where she was an Andrew W. Mellon Humanities in a Digital World fellow.

Big tourist attraction for sure and honestly it&#39;s the people I&#39;ve met and the fun I had that made this great!  and while the elevator up is standard, getting to the top you have people that go around and take free picture. you download them from their website. Ritchie, the photographer I met was incredibly sweet  and had the down home comfort to him. going to the rotating Glass, he gave me a few pictures with the background and it was amazing! they had $15 Mai Thai (I know I know lil pricy but you&#39;re in the air and in Seattle, why not?)Tips: get your ticket(s) for a good price (cough cough Groupon) and get them online and early. cheaper before 11 am

University of Washington

Schools

Tina👭Miami

The University of Washington (UW) is a public research university located in Washington State, USA. It is not only the oldest public university on the West Coast of the United States, but also one of the top three most beautiful universities in the United States! If you come to Seattle, please make sure to arrange a day to visit, you will not be disappointed! UW is famous for its beautiful natural environment and excellent academic atmosphere. Walking on the campus, you will find green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming, as if you are in a huge botanical park. There are many iconic buildings on campus, the most famous of which is the Harry Potter-style library, which is jokingly called Suzhou Building by the Chinese. This magnificent building is not only a holy place for academic research, but also a popular place for taking photos. Standing in front of the library, you will be shocked by its solemn momentum, and even more shocking is the scene of the fountain and snow-capped mountains reflecting each other. Every year during the cherry blossom season, countless tourists from home and abroad flock here to watch this unique natural wonder!

Kerry Park

菜菜的后花园

The best place to overlook the panoramic view of Seattle. This is actually a free community park on the top of the mountain, but the view is so good that it has become a must-see attraction in Seattle. From here you can see the clear blue water of the harbor and the Space Needle in the city center. In the distance is Mount Rainier, the city of Little Fuji. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, like a white hat, very beautiful.
