4.0 out of 5 stars Useful info when you have limited time in Seattle, June 28, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
We took a few days off before attending a business meeting in the Seattle area. I wanted a short-and-sweet guidebook that would direct me to the places I most needed to see (expected destinations like Pike Place Market), as well as a few less obvious places to go. Since I couldn't spend very long in town, I wanted something small and portable enough to stuff in my purse. Top 10 Seattle did a good job at this goal.

In addition to the top ten overall spots, and in some cases the top ten at each spot (such as the most important places to see at the aforementioned market), the book covers each of the major neighborhoods, with recommendations in each one. Not all of them are "tourist" spots, either; for instance, it directs you to walk a few blocks off Broadway (where I was staying) to check out the architecture of area homes. That was good advice, and I wouldn't have ventured that way on my own.

Each neighborhood gets restaurant recommendations, too; we relied on it for one or two meals and were generally pleased. There's also shopping recommendations, though I didn't explore them as much.

The book also has very clear maps, which was definitely appreciated, though I'm not sure how helpful they'd be if you go outside their major areas of focus.

Where the book falls down is in the details. Not the info on each site (it's tiny, that's what I wanted) but in logistics. If it's 10am on Sunday, which of these places will be open? Should I go downtown on the off-chance that the museum is open? The book gave me no guidance.

Nonetheless, this was a good book to carry along on a short trip. I'd do it again.

3.0 out of 5 stars So So Seattle, April 2, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Seattle is a great cosmopolitan city. The books in this series are usually excellent. This one is sub par, it doesn't do the city justice. It's o.k. if you want info concentrated on one city, but you'll gleen as many insights from the Chamber of Commerce visitor information.

I was disappointed in the book, not the city.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Frommer's Day-by-day, August 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Top 10 Seattle (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I couldn't decide between this book and Frommer's Seattle Day by Day guide for our recent trip to Seattle. I ended up buying both, but found the other one to be more useful.

I actually kept the Frommer's guide with me at all times, and I ended up barely using this one.

This Eyewitness guide did seem to have better restaurant recommendations that were more realistic/affordable/normal types of places. In general, though, I found the maps and layout of the Frommer's guide to be much more useful.

I think this book does the job, but if I had to pick just one, I'd definitely recommend the Frommer's instead.
