Excellent book for exploring nature in Seattle!
Seattle Field Guide is a gem of a book for anyone who is curious about nature in Seattle. Beautifully produced and researched, easy to use and a must-have for exploring the hidden gems of our Emerald City. I also learned many fascinating things about lichens, herons, salmon, beaver, just to name a few. Highly recommended for all urban explores! (oh, and I plan on keeping a copy in my car, and another one in my day-pack)
