Seattle's word...

On the book "Eat, Pray, Love" the author describes how she learns that every city has a single word that describes it. She later extends this concept to the individual. This word indicates what influences the majority of the individuals in that city.

In the book Rome is Sex, the Vatican is Power, New York is Achievement, while Los Angeles is Success. 

I have been thinking about what will be my word and what word you could add to Seattle, and even if this same word expands to the greater Seattle area (i.e. Kirkland).

On my side I think Learning will be the one, although as they point in the book, If I remember correctly, this may change later. 

What will Seattle be? Open? Not always. Questioning? There is a lot of debate all the time. Moving or Running? Change seems a constant in the social area, although it seems it is running in not a straight line. Confused? Hopeful? Wishful?

What do you think?
