LOVE THIS BOOK!

Finally, a book that offers a comprehensive guide to Seattle architecture....ON FOOT! I'm an architecture fanatic and I was tickled to death to discover this book! It allows you to enjoy the various architecture (broken down to different parts of the city) while enjoying a walking tour! Elenga's writing is so rich with history and context that as you stand in front of a structure, reading about it at the same time, it's like you feel one with the space! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book! I was pleasantly surprised!!!!
