This review is from: Seattle (CityLife Pictorial Guides) (Paperback)

The layout of photography and text I feel was impecible. The striking pictures presented an alluring appeal. I have travelled to Seattle and I felt it was quite complete. It not only covers the City of Seattle but also the area around Seattle such as Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier Parks which are really a treat to see.
