Seattle is a city of many eclectic, urban, outdoorsy, artsy, gritty, down-to-earth, or posh--it's all here, from the quirky character of the Seattle Waterfront, to the eccentric "Republic of Fremont," to hipsters walking baby carriages past aging mansions on Capitol Hill. There's something for just about everyone within this vibrant Emerald City. Outside of Seattle, the San Juan Islands offer a respite from city life, while Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, and Olympic National Park beckon adventure travelers.

I started at the beginning of this travel guide and was quickly engaged, and subsequently delighted by the writing style and relevant information. I travel light, taking only essentials. This book will accompany me on my first trip to Seattle.
