Walking Washington's History: Ten Cities, a follow-up to Judy
Bentley's bestselling Hiking Washington's History, showcases the
state's engaging urban history through guided walks in ten major cities.
Using narrated walks, maps, and historic photographs, Bentley reveals
each city's aspirations.
She begins in Vancouver, established as a fur trade emporium on a plain
above the Columbia River, and ends with Bellevue, a bedroom community
turned edge city. In between, readers crisscross the state, with walks
through urban Olympia, Walla Walla, Tacoma, Seattle, Everett,
Bellingham, Yakima, and Spokane.
Whether readers pass through these cities as tourists or set out to
explore their home terrain, they will discover both the visible and
invisible markers of Washington history underfoot.
