Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book to gain a bit of knowledge about Seattle other than the usual "best hotels, restaurants, and other tourist-y things" you find in so many travel books. Couldn't have found a better book! It is precisely what I was hoping to find. Loads of info (and map/diagrams) on every major neighborhood and several surrounding areas! Chapters on things one would need to know if (like myself) they're planning on actually moving to (not just visiting) the city, like information on schools, housing, and jobs. Not to say there isn't plenty of handy information for visitors as well, though. Furthermore, with a book so full of information, it's nice to know that the writing style of the author is very low-key; reading it makes you feel like you're having a good conversation with the author, not just a lecture on the topic at hand. And the book itself is a very handy size. I actually have it tucked in my purse for continual reading!
Bottom line: If you're looking for a great book on Seattle, I say your search is over! Click "Add to Cart" with confidence, my friend!
