My goal was to write a book with walks that help people notice details they have perpetually walked by, as well as pull together disparate observations that reveal larger stories. The walks take people to new spots and by old favorites, lead to panoramas and intimate hideaways, and go on trail and sidewalk. They will appeal to newcomers and long time residents. They will be fun. By taking these tours, I hope that readers will see Seattle in a new light and acquire a new appreciation of how the city has changed through time, how the past influences the present, and how nature is all around us, even in the urban landscape.
