Why is Seattle called the Emerald City?
A friend of mine used the word Emerald City for Seattle, is that poetic or is there some history behind it?

Hi @burb! Seattle is called the Emerald City because of its breathtaking landscapes, lush green forests of Washington and the more than 6,000 acres of parks within the city limits. The nickname was given by tourism officials during the 1980s. It is the largest city in Washington State in Northwest United States. It is a major port for many years and currently booming with high tech industry and trade with Pacific Rim or Asian nations.
It is continually becoming a trend-setting city in terms of economic development, city planning and scenic landscape. The rock solid success of Seattle as a trade and manufacturing center and its leading role in some of the key technological fields with its beautiful landscape has made the metropolitan as one of the fastest growing in the U.S. in terms of economy and population.
Today, Seattle has the largest number of homeowners of any major American city. It is also the base for big brand names like Microsoft, Boeing, and Starbucks.
