Reader ReviewsI think this is a pretty awful guidebook. After doing going onto Seattle Citysearch, we found a lot of recommendations that weren't even mentioned in the book. Ivar's, Crabpot, that had raving reviews, and even mentioned in the city's free brochures weren't mentioned. It didn't really tell me what they thought about each place. I don't want a babbling description of a place, but more of "great food!" or "don't miss!" or "it might not be worth the money" Some of the Top 25 attractions I would question. For example, Pioneer Square was very desolate on the weekend. From the locals, we got the impression that it's more a nightlife center. Also, if you're not into doing every little touristy stuff and spending the money, i don't think you can find anything to do, according to the book! For a person that's going for the first time trying to find out what is good to see or do, it is awful. The brochures and maps collection in the hotels and stores were more helpful, and that's sad.
