Remember when Seattle was the Jet City and not the Emerald City? I liked that much better. We really were the center of much of the traffic going to Asia.
But perhaps the Emerald City better describes it now, a make-believe place run by little old men pretending to be powerful. Follow the yellow brick road, or, follow the money.

Re: Jet City
With Boeing having moved their HQ and some production away, "Jet City" isn't as accurate as it used to be.
I think "Emerald City" feeds into the "Hey, we're a world-class city! Really!" chip on our collective shoulder.
