Living in and spending most of my time in North Seattle, really sad there isn’t more between Everett and Seattle. Having the Ship Canal Bridge over the Cut would be great because you get amazing views of Lake Union, DT Seattle AND Bellevue, The Cascades, and The Olympics from it on a clear day. But having Everett and the Boeing factory is a can’t miss and putting Everett too close to Bellingham would feel more off than putting Everett up against Seattle like we have.

Rn, north Seattle is just a small but of Cap Hill and South Lake Union and then some trees and a curve before Everett. I wish they’d throw more buildings around those trees though. Yes WA is very green but along I-5 is very built up between the two with tall trees mixed into the buildings. They should feel more one large part of a metro area where the forests we have now feels more jarring as a transition, but this is getting pretty nitpicky. As it stands I’m very happy with how the Sound area was depicted, all I’d change is making it feel more urban around the highway from Olympia to Everett.

if you point that road to northwest, then it will be quite correct.

What do you think we should expect in the future rework of Seattle and its surroundings. It seems to me now it looks somehow incomplete, for example, add Renton or Bellevue with i 405. And in general, the whole state of Washington

Renton and the I405 are already in the game.

Every city doesn't have to be marked in order to be represented. We have a lot of scenic cities that make the game to represent a small portion of reality.

@Crysta1ake I don't think Seattle will be reworked. It's a fantastic, well-built city and one of my favorites in the game. I'm a little disappointed they didn't find the room for SeaTac airport, but I can live without it.

Washington IMO remains one of the best states in the game, and holds up nicely when compared to the Rockies states.
