US CITIES: English vocabulary and grammar practice: SEATTLE, WA

Here's a new way to learn and practice English: We've developed a series of exercises based on descriptions of some of the most famous American cities. Here's a description of Seattle, WA. Read it and choose the right word for each blank space :) Good luck!

It is located in the state of Washington between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, (near/nearly) 108 miles (174 km) south of the Canadian border.

Opportunities for (sailboat/sailing), skiing, bicycling, camping,
