Seattle's 'Emerald City' from space: How glaciers and people shaped its landscape

Ancient glaciers sculpted Seattle's hills and valleys thousands of years ago. Humans later reshaped this terrain through extensive engineering projects. The city's development is closely tied to its numerous waterways and coastlines. These natural and man-made features create the distinctive "Emerald City" landscape. Nasa's image reveals this combined geological and engineering history.
