Iyada oo ku saleysan qaybtan, maxay yihiin qaybaha ugu muhiimsan ee Seattle, Washington?
Context:Seattle waxay ku taalaa inta udhaxeysa biyaha cusbada leh ee Puget Sound (cabbirka Badweynta Baasifigga) dhanka galbeed iyo harada Washington dhanka bari. Dekedda ugu weyn ee magaalada, Elliott Bay, waxay qayb ka tahay Puget Sound, taas oo ka dhigaysa magaalada deked badda ah. Dhanka galbeed, ka baxsan Puget Sound, waa Jasiiradda Kitsap iyo Buuraha Olympic ee Jasiiradda Olympic; dhanka bari, ka baxsan Lake Washington iyo xaafadaha Eastside, waa Lake Sammamish iyo Cascade Range. Biyaha Lake Washington waxay ku qulqulaan Puget Sound iyada oo loo marayo kanaalka Doomaha Lake Washington (oo ka kooban laba kanaal oo ay sameeyeen bini'aadamka, Lake Union, iyo Hiram M. Chittenden Locks ee Salmon Bay, oo ku dhammaata Shilshole Bay ee Puget Sound).  Badweynta, wabiyada, keymaha, harooyinka, iyo beeraha ku xeeran Seattle waxey ahaayeen kuwo hodan ku filan mar si ay u taageeraan mid ka mid ah bulshooyinka ugaarsada-ururiyaha yar yar ee aduunka ku nool. Meelaha ku xeeran waxay u fiican yihiin doonnida, barafka, baaskiilka, kaamamka, iyo socodka sanadka oo dhan.  Magaalada lafteedu waa buuro, in kasta oo aysan si isku mid ah u ahayn. Sida Rome, magaalada ayaa la sheegay inay ku taal toddobo buurood; liisaska way kala duwan yihiin laakiin caadi ahaan waxaa ka mid ah Capitol Hill, First Hill, West Seattle, Beacon Hill, Queen Anne, Magnolia, iyo hore Denny Hill. Degmooyinka Wallingford, Delridge, Mount Baker, Seward Park, Washington Park, Broadmoor, Madrona, Phinney Ridge, Sunset Hill, Blue Ridge, Broadview, Laurelhurst, Hawthorne Hills, Maple Leaf, iyo Crown Hill dhammaantood waxay ku yaalliin buuro sidoo kale. Inta badan meelaha ugu buuraleyda badan waxay ku dhow yihiin bartamaha magaalada, iyadoo Capitol Hill, First Hill, iyo Beacon Hill ay wadajir u sameeyaan wax u eg geesaha ku teedsan isgoyska u dhexeeya Elliott Bay iyo Lake Washington. Burburka ku jira buurta u dhaxaysa First Hill iyo Beacon Hill waxaa sameeyay nin, natiijada laba ka mid ah mashaariicda dib u habeynta badan ee dib u qaabeeyey muuqaalka magaalada. Qaabeynta bartamaha magaalada ayaa sidoo kale lagu beddelay dhismaha darbiga badda iyo Jasiiradda Harbor Island ee macmalka ah (oo la dhammaystiray 1909) ee afka magaalada warshadaha ee Duwamish Waterway, dhammaadka Webiga Cagaaran. Barta ugu sarreysa gudaha xuduudaha magaalada waxay ku taal High Point ee Galbeedka Seattle, oo qiyaastii ku taal meel u dhow 35th Ave SW iyo SW Myrtle St. Buuraha kale ee caanka ah waxaa ka mid ah Crown Hill, View Ridge / Wedgwood / Bryant, Maple Leaf, Phinney Ridge, Mt. Baker Ridge, iyo Highlands / Carkeek / Bitterlake. [ tixraac la baahan yahay ]  Waqooyiga bartamaha magaalada, Lake Washington Ship Canal wuxuu isku xiraa Puget Sound ilaa Lake Washington. Waxay ka kooban tahay afar biyood oo dabiici ah: Lake Union, Salmon Bay, Portage Bay, iyo Union Bay. [ xigasho loo baahan yahay ]  Maaddaama ay ku taalo Garabka Dabka ee Baasifigga, Seattle waxay ku taalaa aag dhulgariir oo weyn. Bishii Febraayo 28, 2001, dhulgariirkii Nisqually oo cabirkiisu ahaa 6.8 ayaa waxyeelo weyn u geystay qaab dhismeedka, gaar ahaan aagga Pioneer Square (oo lagu dhisay dhul dib loo soo ceshay, sida Degmada Warshadaha iyo qayb ka mid ah bartamaha magaalada), wuxuuna sababay hal dhimasho. Dhulgariirro kale oo xoog leh ayaa dhacay 26kii Janaayo, 1700 (oo lagu qiyaasay 9 magnitude), 14kii Diseembar, 1872 (7.3 ama 7.4), 13kii Abriil, 1949 (7.1), iyo 29kii Abriil, 1965 (6.5). Dhulgariirkii 1965 wuxuu sababay sadex dhimasho oo toos ah Seattle iyo mid kale oo wadnaha ka gaabsaday. In kasta oo Seattle Fault ay u gudubto koonfurta bartamaha magaalada, haddana ma aysan sababin dhulgariir tan iyo markii la aasaasay magaalada. Aagga hoos u dhaca Cascadia wuxuu halis ku yahay dhulgariir cabirkiisu yahay 9.0 ama ka weyn, oo awood u leh inuu si dhab ah u waxyeeleeyo magaalada oo uu dumin karo dhismayaal badan, gaar ahaan aagagga lagu dhisay buuxinta.  Sida laga soo xigtay Xafiiska Tirakoobka Mareykanka, magaaladu waxay leedahay aag guud oo ah 142.5 mayl laba jibbaaran (369 km2), 83.9 mayl laba jibbaaran (217 km2) oo dhul ah iyo 58.7 mayl laba jibbaaran (152 km2), biyo ah (41.16% wadarta guud).
Seattle waxaa hareereysan 2 biyood oo waaweyn, Puget Sound iyo Lake Washington. Inta u dhaxaysa labadan biyood waxaa ku yaal buuro, oo ka kooban dhowr xaafadood oo ku teedsan dusha sare ee buurta. Magaalada guud ahaan waa buuro, oo leh xaafado kale oo badan oo ku yaal buuraha oo aan ku socon dusha sare ee weyn.
