Is Seattle a peninsula ?

Answer 1

No. It has water on two sides but it is connected to the land mass at either end. Florida is an example of a peninsula.

Answer 2

The Greater Metropolitan Seattle area is built on two peninsulas with Puget Sound to the west, and Lake Washington to the east, and Union Bay, Lake Union, and Salmon Bay between them.



Edit: The West Seattle neighborhood, sometimes called, "The Birthplace of Seattle" sits on an easily identifiable peninsula

The City of Seattle is built on land with lakes, canals, and waterways connecting Pugent Sound to the west, and Lake Washington on it's east. Some definitions describe a peninsula as land which is mostly surrounded by a body of water. In that case, Seattle is a seaport city built on land known as an isthmus, with small peninsulas, capes, bluffs, and points as part of it's coastline.

Answer 3

Seattle is located on Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington to the east. There is a canal that links Lake Washington and Puget sound so it looks like its a peninsula, but I wouldn't consider it one

Answer 4

So ... geolicious ... are you saying that Seattle is an ...

... isthmus?

There could be the answer you're looking for

More correctly Seattle would be a CITY built on an Isthmus as Florida is a state located largely on a peninsular! :-)

Greater Isthmus of Seattle ... try saying that five times in a hurry!

Answer 5

no, it's a city.
The question is, Is Seattle located on a peninsula?
