Summary: "A great idea for Seattleites:"

I like the concept of a "tourbook for residents" and this book carries that off well. These books come in two page sizes and thankfully this one is in the larger size, which is still small enough to fit in a glove box but big enough to read without a magnifier. I'm glad that it covers the Eastside, but wish that it also covered the north and south ends of Lake Washington as well. As a former Seattleite I give it a thumbs up.
