Frommer's Seattle 2010

by: Karl Samson
This Frommers book was my top choice after reviewing other travel books. It was spot on. I carried it with me in Seattle and tabbed the pages for fast reference.
The maps and helpful hints enabled me to save time and see and do more. I would look at it over a coffee and map out my next couple hours and then use it again at the next coffee break. There are plenty of coffee shops in Seattle and the book made finding the best ones easy. Also, it helped me to locate super great inn. It also helped me to learn the public transportation system and thanks to the book, I got an advance ORCA pass for senior rates as the book led me to investigate the on line King County Metro system.

60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Seattle: Including Bellevue, Everett, and Tacoma

by: Andrew Weber, Bryce Stevens
Got this book about an year ago and have since done almost half of the hikes described in this book. Can't say if these are the 60 best hikes (there are much more than 60 hikes in the covered area), but they've definitely all been great hikes so far.

The hikes can all be done as day trips from Seattle: The maximum driving distance from Seattle is 60 miles, except for the Mt Rainier hikes, which are more like 60 miles as the crow flies. Come to think of it, the driving time would be a more relevant criteria than the distance, but of course that wouldn't make for such a nice title.

City Walks: Seattle 50 Adventures on Foot

by: Ingrid Emerick
I bought these cards because I know there are a lot of places I just don't make a point to go to anymore, like West Seattle/Alkai Beach, even though I enjoy them when I get there. Thus, by making it a point to take these walks, I get out of my house and usually jogs along the Interurban Trail and trips to nearby Golden Gardens Park, and get out to the places I used to love to explore when I first moved here.

I noticed that almost all the walks begin or end with a bite to eat (walk #2 Seattle Waterfront begins at Ivar's Fish Bar; walk #3 International District ends with Seattle Best Tea.

Not for Tourists Guide to Seattle 2010

by: Nft
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.
