Why do so many people care about Seatle? Options

[Cynic project]

I really want to know.

I mean, one the US,and later the UCAS was happy at letting huge ports go all around the map. Some of them are bigger than Seattle, these mainly being on the eastern side. But hey the US and the UCAS need a foot hold in the pacific. So Seattle is a great place,right? I mean it is only one city with boarders to a somewhat hostile nation.And just about ever part of it is within range of tank fire from said nation. But The papacifics a great big market, and to get to the large and relatively well protected ports in CaCaliforniawould mean that Us/UCAS good would have to go threw the NAN lands.... But enough about that. It is rather silly.

Now,let's talk about the Tir. They made Seattle their main port, rather than PORTLAND, because they sseeminglylike to pay ttariffsand let outsides sources have a larger voice how ,what and when they get their ssupplies

Then you have the corps. Who wish to put many vvaluableassets in one area, that they do not fully control. I mean that the corps do rule the city, but not threw one of them, so it is not Ares,or SK who is charge, but rather the snorm.

So, is there any reason why Seattle is so big? I mean, Denver could be big, with the treaty stuff. But Seatle just seems to be a fanboy's wet dream.
