Have you ever read a description of a place in a guidebook, and found it different than you expected when you visited? Most guidebooks use terse description, facts, and the occasional curious story to describe a place — information that is useful, but doesn't paint a true picture of a place's character. This means you could waste your time visiting a modern shopping district when you wanted old world charm. Seattle City Walks describes the city of Seattle as few guidebooks do. It depicts the personality of the city's neighborhoods, rather than just listing its attractions. In Seattle's streets the common dramas of our day exist amid half-forgotten stories of the past. Seattle City Walks brings these stories to life with personality sketches, and curious neighborhood histories. This book tells you what the city feels like, not just what you can do there. Exploring is easier because chapters are organized into walking tours, each focusing on a particular neighborhood. You won't have to sort through lists of attractions and study maps to find the things you want to see. All you have to do is skim chapter headings to choose the neighborhoods you'll explore. You can learn more about the book by following the links at the top of this web page: read reviews, browse table of contents, or read one of the chapters. The featured chapter will change periodically, so be sure to visit again soon.
