I've lived in Seattle. Too little sun and almost no wind.
According to a book I was reading when I wanted to
build a greenhouse, windloading is not a consideration
there as it has the lowest winds in the country.


Wind turbines don't have to be located in the back yard of the Safeco
Field, Dee (Safeco Field replaced the King Dome). They can be placed on
the
other side of Puget Sound, where there is plenty of wind. Another
alternative is some of the islands north of Seattle at the mouth of the
Sound (also plenty of wind).

How much land will be used to build enough turbines to power Seattle and the
surrounding suburbs? And the other side of Puget Sound doesn't have "plenty
of wind". It's higher than Seattle but still much lower than many other
areas of the country.
