Their energy, ideas, and inventions have influenced the city's skyline, the evolution of air travel, the music and art worlds, and even the very coffee we drink. They are the reason Seattle is gifted with so many unusual, offbeat, and truly compeling places for explorers to discover and enjoy, from a coin-operated attraction filled with enormous shoes, the world's greenest commercial building, and urban old growth forests, to a haunted staircase and museums dedicated to pinball, dialysis machines, and rubber chickens.111 Places in Seattle That You Must Not Miss invites and inspires locals and visitors alike to seek out the Emerald City's hidden treasures, overlooked gems, and charming curiosities.
Author Biography
Harriet Baskas is an author and journalist who has produced radio documentaries on everything from early cowgirls to offbeat museums and written eight books about unusual attractions, hidden museum treasures, and airports around the world. She served as the general manager of three community radio stations in the Pacific Northwest and now reports on travel and the arts for a variety of national outlets and for her blog, StuckatTheAirport.com. Cortney Kelley, having lived in the PNW for all but four years of her life, is most at home in the dense treescape with the smell of salt water in the air. Primarily a portrait artist, she sensed that the exploration of Seattle couldn't have come at a better time with COVID limitations in full swing, allowing for a deep dive into a city she adores. Nurturing her wanderlust, she is always dreaming and planning the next adventure, camera in tow.
