Well that is a fair point. From Seattle you can choose from mountains, mountains, or mountains, from London you have to settle for city, country, or mountains :)

Well, its mountains, mountains, mountains, or mountains, but I don't think the east cascades is organized into a national park (though people go skiing there). We also have country (including that yearly tulip festival thingy up toward Bellingham). In Europe, you'd have to go to the Alps to get anything like that (or Norway for lakes and floating bridges).
If you find cities very interesting, I'm sure London is very interesting. But if you are into the outdoors, the west coast of the USA is actually pretty nice.
US immigration is fast with or without a usa passport, well, at least it never takes four freaking hours; in Seattle its max 20 minutes even for first time Chinese visitors. Even Bali is only an hour if you don't pay the bribe.
