It's a place, not a person. Anthropomorphizing it doesn't magically bestow it feelings nor shame.
Additionally, the point isn't to shame it. It's that by making it a "puzzle", you're more likely to have people calling it out; rather than if you just named it. If someone saw "Seattle", they'd read it and forget it five seconds later.
