The disappearing character defining Seattle
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book not only explores landmarks that have defined Seattle and given it its unique character over the years, but examines many other aspects of Seattle culture that have gone away. This includes businesses, events, commercial products, and radio and television shows. The book is complete in its listing and is well detailed. I can't think of anything that is missing, or any way that it could be improved. I came into the world in the 60's and remember much of Seattle's unique character that has vanished. Those items that are before my time are described in detail and can easily be appreciated by anyone.
Great book for Seattle Boomers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
All of us boomes over 50 that grew up in Seattle loved this book. We took buses to downtown when we were in our early teens and visited the stores and resturants mentioned in the book. In our early 20's we went to the bars highlighted in the book. It was a great trip down memory lanes.
Seattle & some famous landmarks that are no more
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I own several of these IMAGES OF AMERICA books and I'm never disappointed. This particular (picture) book is about Seattle in the past, and shows photos of some past landmarks that helped to create Seattle. As the book's title stated, this book is about the "Vanishing Seattle", because all the landmarks are no more. If you grew-up in Seattle, as I did, you will love to look through this book and reflect on some of the famous landmarks that were so wonderful to visit, but that are now extinct.
Vanishing Seattle

Great book about the city where I was born in 1943. So I could totally relate to the vanishing aspect of the city.
Great little book

This is a book I leave out for the enjoyment of my tax clients. It always evokes a memory and a good story.
