Seattle Walk Report: An Illustrated Walking Tour Through 23 Seattle Neighborhoods by Susanna Ryan, Seattle Walk Report

5.0

It has been over a year since I bought this book, after attending its launch at the public library. It sat on my bedside shelf, tempting me, but for whatever reason I never picked it up. And what a delightful volume it is! The author/artist clearly loves her city (also my city, now) and shows it in her charming cartoons and witty captions. In the conclusion she says she hopes readers will be inspired to take a walk—around the block or across town—and I certainly am. I have always been a walker, and it is a preferred way for my husband and me to get around, but the level of observation she achieves is way out of my league. I hope the next time we explore on foot, we will do it with our heads held a little higher, our eyes open a little wider.
