4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, November 25, 2000

"mandalajapan" (Kyoto Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Newcomer's Handbook for Seattle (Paperback)

A very informative, wide-ranging book. Full of good things to say about Seattle, which is my one caveat-- I want an honest appraisal of the different neighborhoods, and sometimes I felt as though rough areas got glossed over. Still, the book has been a good companion for us while we search the web looking for houses in the area.
