In almost every case, those are winning the vote. But who builds houses and hotels on the Golden Gate Bridge, Puget Sound, Red Rocks Amphitheater, or the St. Louis Arch?

On that count, I guess that Seattle fits. However, they didn't just go for the biggest cities (notably missing: Detroit); so there was some editorial judgement in which cities would show up on the new Monopoly map.

It is the "Here and Now" edition which I'm connotes a meaning of future, technology, hipness, etc. Seattle embodies a lot of those traits and in my mind would be a perfect fit for this edition.
