Synopsis: A quick guide for visitors to Seattle, WA
Good: Information was presented or laid-out well; straight-to-the-point guide
Bad: not enough helpful tips for tourists or first time visitors
I only read this because I'll be spending a few days in Seattle next month. This was my first travel guide that I had read, so I had nothing to compare it with. Although the book was written by various contributors, the topics were all put together nicely. The guide could use a map though and some helpful tips for tourists or first-time visitors (e.g. best month to visit, areas to avoid, etc).
Below is the table of contents for reference:
1. Eating Out
2. Local Wine and Beer
3. Farmer's markets
4. Arts
5. Theatre
6. Music
7. Sports
8. Outdoors
9. Major attractions
10. Adventures
11. Kids Activities
12. Pets
13. Only in Seattle
14. Shopping

Looking at the Dining chapter it makes it seem like Seattle is filled with nothing but vegetarian and vegan restaurants.

More of a reference than a guide, really. The authors list their favorite places across a few categories like Dining, Fast Food, Outdoors, etc. Useful if you are searching for something particular.

This was a great guide to the city showing all kinds of out of the way places a tourist would not know about. Well researched and fun.

Made me miss the quirkiness of Seattle. Time for a homecoming.
