More helpful than many others..........2004-07-07
I checked this out of the library, then had to buy my own copy to take with me. Not only is the history interesting, but it's honest about the prices and quality of food, lodging, and places to see. It makes planning an itinerary very easy. And the pictures are simply stunning!
Fun!.......2002-11-06
Just reading the history about Seattle is enjoyable before you arrive. I thought the suggestions on what to do and how to save were great. With little time to spare we had loads of fun using the book as our guide. Enjoy!

Illuminating the crannies of this thriving metropolis with sound advice and bright folios of color photographs, Lonely Planet's Seattle is sure to reward visitors who seek the city's secretive side as well as those drawn to more standard sights.
Organizing "Things to See & Do," "Places to Stay," "Places to Eat," "Entertainment," and "Shopping" sections largely by neighborhood, this guide gives the reader a true feel for the city as well as a helpful orientation. Pithy sidebars scattered throughout cover a gamut of topics, from "Totem Poles of the Northwest Coast," to "Seattle on the Web," to "Body Art & Accessories." A nice inclusion is the "Excursions" section, which suggests outings and day trips to nearby places such as the San Juan Islands, Mount Rainier, and the Olympic Peninsula. With 20 pages of superb maps, Seattle introduces not only one of the Northwest's great cities, but the stunning region that surrounds it.--Byron Ricks

Helps you avoid tourist traps.......2003-01-04
One of the nice things about the Lonely Planet guides is that they are very good about telling you which things are just tourist traps and which are genuinely worth seeing. I don't think I've yet run into any bad recommendations from this guide, and now that I live in Seattle (I bought the book several years before moving here), I've had pretty good opportunity to try out a lot of their suggestions.
There is lots of good information about interesting spots in many of Seattle's vibrant neighboorhood communities besides just the downtown and Pioneer Square areas. I also appreciated the information on various points of architectural interest, which has made me want to chase down another book about Seattle's architecture.
If you want to get to know Seattle beyond just the touristy stuff that every visitor to Seattle has seen (Pike's Place, the Needle, etc.), you can't go wrong with this book. Even if you are already familiar with Seattle, there is much you can learn from this book -- I intend to try out more of their recommended day trips to the surrounding areas soon!
For all visitors of Seattle!.......2001-10-05
I bought this book for about 7 months when I was in Seattle for a week. The book has only 200 pages, so that europeans can read the whole book during the fly. The book give you detailed information about facts about and around Seattle. A quickly reference about the history of Seattle can be founded here, but also information about the economy, arts, language and culture. There is a section of 20 pages with color maps needed for a good orientation. This book is highly recommended for all people travelling to Seattle.

Great for residents too.......2000-10-18
As a resident of the area, I have say that this book is a great asset to my bookshelf. I often find myself looking through the book to find new and exotic things to do around the city. Sometimes it is more useful than using the phonebook because there are tidbits on culture, restaurant styles, and where the best places are to rent bikes, canoes, and rollerblades. When friends or relatives visit, I lend them the book so they can easily find the things they need around town. I highly reccommend this book to any traveler heading to the Seattle area!!!!!
Lonely Planet Offers Great Seattle Insight.......2000-05-02
The Lonely Planet Guide to Seattle is a great asset to anyone headed to the Emerald City. We found our transportation from the airport, hotel, restaurants and shops all from this book. And the trip was wonderful. The information is up to date and the maps are accurate. I relied so heavily upon this guide for my trip over a year ago, I plan to purchase another for my mother, who is headed to Seattle with me soon. This book helped to convince me that the Emerald City is definitely a place I look forward to calling home soon. Thank you Lonely Planet.
