Grab your walking shoes, and become an urban adventurer. Clark Humphrey guides you through 35 unique walking tours in the vibrant young city that’s a crossroads of world trade and cultures. Seattle is home to cozy bungalows, stately mansions, postmodern palaces, and outdoor art, making it one of the most fascinating and beautiful metropolitan areas in America. Each self-guided tour includes full-color photographs, a map, and need-to-know details like distance, difficulty, points of interest, and more.
Stroll along wide boulevards, narrow cobblestone lanes, and pedestrian pathways from Pioneer Square to Queen Anne Hill. Explore the U District and the University of Washington Campus, as well as Foster Island and the Arboretum. You’ll soak up history, stories, and trivia on your way to the best parks, shops, restaurants, and nightlife in Washington. So find a route that appeals to you, and walk Seattle!
Clark Humphrey has observed and chronicled Seattle’s happenings and changes for more years than he would care to remember. He’s seen Seattle transform from a boom-and-bust industrial city into today’s fast-growing, fast-moving tech mecca. He’s walked his way through every Seattle neighborhood except the gated Broadmoor. He’s a former staff writer with The Stranger and The Comics Journal, and a former book reviewer for The Seattle Times. His other books include LOSER: The Real Seattle Music Story (reissued by MISCmedia) and Vanishing Seattle and Seattle’s Belltown (both Arcadia Publishing). He continues to write about the city, its growth, and its contradictions daily at miscmedia.com. He’s a fourth generation Washingtonian and a University of Washington alum.
