Here's what people have to say about Seattle City Walks


Seattle Times, May 19, 1999 "Seattle City Walks, by Laura Karlinsey (Sasquatch Books, $16.95) is the kind of guidebook that belongs on the shelf - or in the backpack - of not just serious visitors, but every local fascinated with the character of the city." Read the entire article

The Oregonian, April 2, 2000 "And I thought I knew Seattle -- I lived there for 34 years. Laura Karlinsey knows Seattle better. Her Seattle City Walks is a gem."

Eastside Journal, July 10, 1999 "…[Seattle] residents might be surprised by how much they could learn about their home town. The guide gives step-by step directions, information about landmarks and additional historical information. For example...the book tells you how to look for the spot where the "lookout tree" stood, how it was used as a landmark by sailors, revered... by the Indians, and cut down by settlers."

Techbug Seattle, July 2002 "This book comes closest to sharing the many local delights that can and should sidetrack visitors, who have the time and knowledge to seek them out. Each blurb is short, but inviting. At last we have some cemetery coverage, including Bruce and Brandon."

Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce "Discover the true character of Seattle with self-guided walking tours of the city's neighborhoods… To live in a Seattle neighborhood one must experience it with Seattle City Walks. The guide is an ideal way to get a feel for the urban quality of life in Seattle… From the quirky Fremont neighborhood to the grand homes of Queen Anne, the guide will help you discover which Seattle neighborhood will suit your lifestyle."

MISCmedia.com "An indispensable introductory guidebook to getting at least a little beyond the upscale-monoculture PR image of Seattle and seeing the real place."
