I would recommend other guidebooks,
By Rascal (Portland OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Places Seattle: The Locals' Guide to the Best Resturants, Lodging, Sights, Shopping, and More! (Paperback)
I think this is a pretty awful guidebook. After doing going onto Seattle Citysearch, we found a lot of recommendations that weren't even mentioned in the book. Ivar's, Crabpot, that had raving reviews, and even mentioned in the city's free brochures weren't mentioned. It didn't really tell me what they thought about each place. I don't want a babbling description of a place, but more of "great food!" or "don't miss!" or "it might not be worth the money"
Some of the Top 25 attractions I would question. For example, Pioneer Square was very desolate on the weekend. From the locals, we got the impression that it's more a nightlife center. Also, if you're not into doing every little touristy stuff and spending the money, i don't think you can find anything to do, according to the book! For a person that's going for the first time trying to find out what is good to see or do, it is awful. The brochures and maps collection in the hotels and stores were more helpful, and that's sad.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Seattle - Looking for food and drinks? This is the book 4 You!!!,
By 4990fab (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Places Seattle: The Locals' Guide to the Best Resturants, Lodging, Sights, Shopping, and More! (Paperback)
I describe myself as someone who likes to get to the point. I don't want a lot of fluff and having been a graphic designer, I like a travel guide that is simple, organized, and brings me to the must see places in town.
This is it! Get this book! You want to know where to go plain and simple - this is the one to get. I find myself lost and wandering around guide books that are so rote with information, that I feel like I am reading a user's manual for brain surgery!!! The book includes maps of the areas you would like to go, it gives you upfront information of what to expect and look for when you get to Seattle, it organizes the restaurants by type of food, most recommended, and more. It is an easy read. Enjoy Seattle and other locations, as I would want to reference this book for future excursions as well.
