      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Roslyn Bullas originally hired me to write this book. Gregory Zura first suggested I pursue it.

      Many, many people helped me decide what local attractions absolutely had to get included here. A few of them include Revele Kelley, Laura Castellanos, Kurt Geissel, Marlow Harris, Elaine Bonow, Patricia Devine, Julie Pheasant-Albright, Shawn Wolfe, Missy Chow, Bill Shaw, and Mark Harlow.

      AUTHOR’S NOTE

      There’s so much to see and do in Seattle. My hardest job was devising only 35 routes that would include most of the city’s natural and built attractions. Some of the places that didn’t fit are mentioned in sidebars.

      Even within the neighborhoods I do cover, space requirements meant I had to leave out a lot of cool places. If you’ve got the time, go ahead and stray from the written path. Just be sure you can retrace your steps back.
