Seattle

there. Since you have lived there for a while, I thought you could answer some questions for me. One thing I am worried about is the weather. I have heard that it rains in

Seattle

all the time. Is

this

true? It sounds very depressing. I have

also

heard that

Seattle

is a growing city, and I am afraid it would feel very crowded to me. I have never lived in a big city before. Another thing I wonder about is leisure activities. I like going out dancing a lot. Are there good places to go dancing in

Seattle

? What about music? I would not want to live in a place where I could not go to concerts frequently. Another important issue is housing. I have heard that

Seattle

is very expensive. Is it hard to find a nice apartment at a reasonable rent? What neighbourhoods would you recommend? I appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions, and I look forward to hearing from you. If I decide to accept the job in

Seattle

,

then

I hope we will be able to get together frequently. Best wishes, Miranda
