Work out around American city (7)
I believe the answer is:
seattle
'american city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seattle that I've seen before include "city in north-west America" , "American city" , "Place in Washington" , "Washington port" , "Sleepless in --, film" .)
