My wife and I read this while living in Seattle to learn about the places of value around us. While we didn't always agree with the relative ratings in the book, most of the attractions listed were enjoyable. We recommend it for people interested in spending at least 3-4 days in Seattle. ( )

I like Lonely Planets overview chapter at the beginning of all their guides and this one is no exception. The next sections are broken up by neighborhood and then by activity (further divided by neighborhood). I think this would be/will be helpful on site, but for research is not ideal for me. ( )
