Recession?Seattle never got the memo. The aerospace and tech industries keep this town firmly fixed in the 21st centruy. And flush: a vast network of urban neighborhoods--rife with all things new, from hangouts to highrises--is poised for action when the city's light-rail system revs up. But Seattle hasn't forgotten where it came from: alt music, farm-to-table dining, and genuinely great coffee are still what it's all about.
