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. (

I've never seen the world the way Seattle Walk Report sees it, and I enjoyed the new perspective immensely. I am a big fan of walking, and I really appreciate the suggestions of places to explore. (
