I started reading this as my book to read while brushing my teeth a few months ago, fantasizing about all the places I'd like to visit in Seattle once the pandemic goes away.

A couple of days after I finished reading it, my mom had to be in Seattle for the day while my father was having some medical stuff done. I offered to keep her company, and we ended up doing some of the walks in the book. Such good timing!

The book breaks Seattle down into geographic regions, with a brief history then walking tours of each region, highlighting historical sites and buildings.

Of course, it makes me laugh (and cry a little) reading the book: since the book is 20+ years old, some of the landmarks in it are no longer there.
