It Happened in Seattle by Steve Pomper

For anyone who's like me, fascinated at how America's cities came into being, Seattle's story is one of the most unique--especially for such a relatively young city. Tucked away in the Great Pacific Northwest Seattle grew from a small collection of dreamers landing on a windwhipped, drizzly beach to become the premier city in the northwest United States.
