Editorial Reviews:

Book Description
Seattle Architecture: A Walking Guide to Downtown opens with an historical overview and timeline featuring the people and events that have shaped the Seattle that we know today. The guidebook is divided into nine tours beginning where Seattle did, at Pioneer Square, and ending at Seattle Center, the location of the futuristic-themed 1962 Century 21 World's Fair. The front flap folds out, providing a map of the areas covered in the book.

Each tour is accompanied by an introduction and area map with points of interest identified by numbers that correspond to individual entries. Architect names and dates of completion are provided at the beginning of each entry, and an icon indicates when a building is on a local or national landmarks register.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS BOOK!   May 22, 2008

Finally, a book that offers a comprehensive guide to Seattle architecture....ON FOOT! I'm an architecture fanatic and I was tickled to death to discover this book! It allows you to enjoy the various architecture (broken down to different parts of the city) while enjoying a walking tour! Elenga's writing is so rich with history and context that as you stand in front of a structure, reading about it at the same time, it's like you feel one with the space! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book! I was pleasantly surprised!!!!
