3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great Voyage Through Seattles History.By R. PennerThis is a work of painstaking research that results in a very powerful tour through the history of the Greenlake neighborhood of Seattle. Anyone familiar with Seattle in recent years has seen it change before their eyes. This book is a great reminder of the all-but-lost rich past of this rapidly changing city.
