Changing Echo's Weather Location

Setting up my new Amazon Echo was pretty straight forward, except for one thing.  After Echo was all set up, I asked her: "Alexa, what's the weather?"  She then gave me the weather for...Kirkland, Washington.  Which would be fine if I lived in Washington, but doesn't do me much good in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It took a little rooting around to fix this.   I figured for sure it would be under Settings,  and settings does have listings for Sports Update, Traffic, Calendar - but no Weather.

Well it's there, but mysteriously, to update Weather, you have to click on your Echo's name, in my case "David's Echo".

Then, it's an easy-to-change location setting.  I typed in my address and zip, saved it, and Alexa now correctly reported my local weather.
