Not For Tourists Guide to Seattle 2017

by Not For Tourists

The Not For Tourists Guide to Seattle is the manual to the seaport city that no local, or tourist, should be without. This map-based guidebook divides Seattle and the Eastside into 49 mapped neighborhoods that are dotted with user-friendly icons plotting the nearest essential services and entertainment locations, while providing important information on Seattle’s restaurants, bookstores, coffee shops, and everything else you need to know about the Emerald City.

Want to taste hand-crafted foods and drinks? NFT has you covered. How about strolling through Seattle’s green parks and millionaire neighborhoods? We’ve got that, too. The nearest Starbucks location, curiosity shops, art shows, or nightspots—whatever you need—NFT puts it at your fingertips. The guide also features:

• A foldout highway map
• Over 100 neighborhood maps
• Listings for performance venues and outdoor activities
• Essential Seattle movies and books

For a little more than the cost of a ticket to the top of the Space Needle, you’ll have all of Seattle at your fingertips.

Underwhelmed. The tiny font was frustrating and headache inducing. It also felt like the overwhelming majority of the attractions and restaurants were run of the mill. I didn’t feel like there was anything innovative about how the guidebook was set up or any interesting tidbits. In fact over all I felt like it was a far from comprehensive guidebook. The descriptions were pithy to be sure but I wanted more actual content not witty snark. Wouldn’t pick up another.

This was probably the best travel guide I consulted for Seattle, although I wasn't a huge fan of the layout of info. The one sentence descriptions are honest and often slightly snarky and they feature many places a Fodor's or Frommer's wouldn't.

I was flipping through this in the backseat of a friend's car while bored the other day.

I give it a 5 just for the Seattle Center section, which calls out the Space Needle for being too expensive, and the EMP for also being too expensive and an eyesore.
