Reviews

"This is a book that we have been waiting for someone to tackle for decades. Seattle Architecture is the first effort to assemble an up-to-date, factually accurate review of buildings downtown that is also compelling and readable. The joy of discovery that comes when someone remarks 'I never noticed that before,' is now in the hands of every resident and visitor to Seattle." Lawrence Kreisman "Maureen Elenga and the Seattle Architecture Foundation have done a great service in providing an up-to-date guide to downtown buildings and sites. Drawing on detailed research in building records, this book is a model in terms of accuracy and level of detail. this guide will make our downtown environment accessible to a wide audience, and will be useful to professionals and policy-makers as well."
