5.0 out of 5 stars Major Asset on Recent Trip To Seattle, July 7, 2010

This Frommers book was my top choice after reviewing other travel books. It was spot on. I carried it with me in Seattle and tabbed the pages for fast reference.
The maps and helpful hints enabled me to save time and see and do more. I would look at it over a coffee and map out my next couple hours and then use it again at the next coffee break. There are plenty of coffee shops in Seattle and the book made finding the best ones easy. Also, it helped me to locate super great inn. It also helped me to learn the public transportation system and thanks to the book, I got an advance ORCA pass for senior rates as the book led me to investigate the on line King County Metro system.
Was very helpful for locating ferries too. Kept it for my next trip.

We will be leaving on our trip in the near future so we don't really know how accurate this book is yet but we appreciate the fact that this book explains the good and the "not so good" about the city. When you are on vacation, you tend to not think about/want to think about that. We have made reservations according to this book so we'll see. Honesty is the best policy and we believe THIS "complete" just may have done that.
