"This visually rich cultural atlas of Seattle explores the mercurial nature of place through the lens of one of the fastest growing cities in America. Through both experiential and data-driven cartography, Seattleness lends itself to longtime residents, newcomers to the city, and those curious about the moody borough that has brought us airplanes, grunge, gourmet coffee, and e-commerce. In the style of Infinite City and Portlandness, this illustrated book examines an expansive range of topics from UFO sightings to pinball legacies, gray skies to frontier psychology, strong women and strong coffee. Compelling infographic visuals emerge from deep dives into data, unraveling over 50 real and strange narratives about the green metropolis perched at the edge of the Salish Sea"-- No library descriptions found. |

Indeed, this is a great addition to your shelf of Seattle books. Because it is a series of clever snapshots and visualized data about a myriad of Seattle topics--any of which can be explored further by digging into the awesome bibliography/sources at the back of the book.--Seattleness is a great "starter book" if you want to learn a little bit about a lot of things related to the city and region.
It's also a great addition if you collect books on mapping and/or data visualization, or about cultural atlases, like Rebecca Solnit's books on San Francisco and New Orleans (that said, I find Seattleness more interesting, inventive, and with far less cant than Solnit's work). (
