Contains 86 stories that compare the region's past and the present with more than 500 photographs. The collection has been taken, in part, from Paul Dorpat's column, which appeared weekly in The Seattle Times, Sunday Magazine, Pacific.
Grrrrrrr.... one of those infuriating history books that doesn't document its sources. Don't use this one to settle any bar bets. However, do buy this book for the vintage photos of old Seattle. Just ignore the writing. I swear Paul Dorpat is a retired Seattle Underground tour guide who just likes to tell a good story embellished with a fact or two.
