I am sorry but Waterway is out of print. You might find used copies but that’s about it.
Co-written with HistoryLink historian Jennifer Ott, our book highlights how Seattle’s civic leaders doggedly pursued construction of the ship canal over several decades despite numerous setbacks and competition from other canal schemes. The book explores how the waterway was rearranged, the canal’s wide-ranging environmental impacts, who has worked and played on the canal, and how it has shaped the local economy and communities. Filled with maps and historic photographs, Waterway offers a new way to see and understand one of the more importance changes to Seattle economic, ecologic, and social landscape.
