Metroji clue #9

Seattle in five emoji

United States

A port city wedged between Puget Sound and a lake, which is why it is long and thin. Three of these clues are exports the rest of the world absorbed without noticing where they came from.

What each emoji refers to

Starbucks opened at Pike Place in 1971.
Grey and persistent rather than torrential. The drizzle is the local joke.
Boeing built its business here and the region is still full of aerospace work.
Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam came out of the same scene. Hendrix was born here.
The fishmongers at Pike Place throw the salmon.
