Description

* Packed with short day trips in Seattle the whole family will love
* Pressed for time? Find "Quick Trips" that take less than one hour to complete
* Includes "Fast Facts" and pertinent sidebars about Seattle and surrounding neighborhoods

Chock-full of things to see and do, Nature in the City: Seattle is an indispensable resource for discovering not only Seattle's best-loved natural sites, but also its wildest and least-known corners, including the surrounding areas of Renton, Vashon, and Bainbridge Islands.

Trips are identified by location, and how long they take to complete, and by a "when to go" suggestion to help readers decide which trip is best for a particular day or season.

Reviews

I'll be carrying this along next time I visit the Emerald City.
— Spokane Spokesman-Review
Nature in the City: Seattle is a one-stop source of outdoor-minded entertainment.
— Idaho Statesman
Seattle residents need not go far to see wildlife, water, and unusual plants. They'll find it close to home by following Nature in the City: Seattle...Maps, photos and drawings accompany a comprehensive text where even longtime residents can learn something new. -
— Doug Esser, Associated Press
Maria Dolan and Kathryn True's Nature in the City: Seattle is a treasure map to Seattle's wild and not so wild places. And like a treasure map, it entices you to find the riches of the city. It is a book you will take on kayak tours, walking rambles, bike rides and even up the Space Needle. It is a book that will give you a fresh perspective on Seattle.
