Description
|
|
|
|
Dominated by the world-famous Space Needle architecturally and by the surrounding waters of Puget Sound and Lake Washington geographically, Seattle boasts a unique cosmopolitan culture, a huge aerospace industry, views of the Olympic and Cascade ranges, and year-round festivals. Its development is revealed here in images of the Frank Gehry–designed Experience Music Project, Woodland Park Zoo, and Mount Rainier National Park, as well as vintage photos of the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 and the 1962 World's Fair. This compact album, like the others in the series, profiles this major city through superb captioned color photographs and archival photos and maps, as well as short essays on various aspects of its history and geography.
