I read this guidebook almost cover-to-cover before and during a multi-day trip to Seattle. I found a lot of the suggestions quite good, and I did use the highlights and suggested itineraries to plan my trip. I only ended up hitting 3 or 4 neighborhoods but I felt like I was able to see a lot in the amount of time I had. The boundaries between neighborhoods were not great; I spent a lot of time flipping back and forth between different maps when I had only walked a block or two. A little overlap might have been nice. The book’s coffee suggestions were particularly great. There were several places I read about in the book that were closed or had incorrect hours/pricing. Inevitable, but sad since this guidebook is only a year old.
