Synopsis
Perched on the outer northwest limits of the state, Seattle still shows its frontier roots. Yet it is a highly cosmopolitan city, as much at ease with the Orient, Alaska, Canada, and the South Pacific as it is with New York.
Seattle Uncovered is a reminder of people and events half-forgotten, the rogues and the builders, and a look at the stories behind familiar, modern topics such as Seafair, the floating bridges, and Seattle's preoccupation with coffee and microbreweries.
