Growing Up in Rat City and Beyond Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I grew up in West Seattle and now make Burien my home, and I just got this book directly from the author (a neighbor) and am so impressed with it!
Every page teaches me something new about this area, from eclectic historical artifacts to biographical info on Mr. Sasonoff himself.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who's ever lived in, near, or like a lot of folks...driven through...White Center (aka "Rat City")!

Growing Up in Rat City and Beyond is the autobiography of noted White Center, Washington resident Alexander Sasonoff. The 230 page tome, illustrated by the author himself, chronicles his years growing up in the often rough and tumble suburb of Seattle. Chapters include descriptions of the post depression, pre-war years of the blue collar town and it's colorful residents, including stories about the skipper of the purse seiner 'Loyal' Vic Carlsen, prizefighters Harry 'Kid' Matthews and Al Hostak and all the boozing, brawling regulars that inhabited the town with the rodent moniker.
