Why Has Seattle Been Called 'A City of Neighborhoods'
Since Seattle contains many districts and neighborhoods, therefore Seattle has been called as 'the city of neighborhoods'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhoods_in_Seattle
Early European settlers established widely scattered settlements on the surrounding hills, which grew into neighborhoods and autonomous towns.
The neighborhoods of Seattle are fairly informal, with many multiple names for multiple overlapping areas. Some areas are known locally by different names depending on which direction you are traveling.
