Unearths the buried bones of an invented city that was carved out of hills and bay.Early Seattleites were neither sentimental nor nostalgic; destroying iconic schools; libraries; entire neighborhoods; and high hills.They ripped out the very muscles of industry and the veins of rails and ferries on which the city was created. 68 vignettes of cast-aside Seattle are given new light; including Japantown; the Kalakala; Joseph Mayer's clock factory; interurban railways; Yesler's mill; Capitol Hill's auto row; Denny Hill; Moran Brothers' shipyard; the Carnegie Central Library; Boeing and the SuperSonics. From the 1880s to the present day.This richly illustrated book brings these lost buildings; structures and neighborhoods back to life; to reveal the Seattle that once was.
