Seattle is often listed as one of the most walkable cities in the United
States. With its beautiful scenery, miles of non-motorized trails, and
year-round access, Seattle is an ideal place to explore on foot.
In Seattle Walks, David B. Williams weaves together the history,
natural history, and architecture of Seattle to paint a complex,
nuanced, and fascinating story. He shows us Seattle in a new light and
gives us an appreciation of how the city has changed over time, how the
past has influenced the present, and how nature is all around us--even
in our urban landscape.
These walks vary in length and topography and cover both well-known and
surprising parts of the city. While most are loops, there are a few
one-way adventures with an easy return via public transportation.
Ranging along trails and sidewalks, the walks lead to panoramic views,
intimate hideaways, architectural gems, and beautiful greenways. With
Williams as your knowledgeable and entertaining guide, encounter a new
way to experience Seattle.
