...I figure this must be the book to buy. I'm relocationg to the Seattle area in August...so...while I can't quite comment on the book's "accuracy", I will say it's a handy size and is definitely a well put together book, quality-wise. Hey, that rhymes!!! Moving on... I can't wait to dive face first into the glossy pages of this book and will update further once I've been there for a month or three. Buy this book...IT EVEN HAS A STRAP ON IT!!! Ooooooooooo...

Excellent guide for someone getting to know the city

I would probably rate this 4.5 stars if I could, but I like it enough to round up. This is an excellent way to learn about the city. The book is divided into chapters that cover neighborhoods. It doesn't focus on the hottest new restaurants/clubs, instead it gives you the feel so that you have a basis for exploration. As the title indicates, this isn't the right book for a weekend tourist but it is great for new Seattle inhabitants.
Great information

I gave the book, 'Not for Tourists' as a gift and it was received with much interest and delight. The book is very informative, covering various districts in and around Seattle. The information is very detailed and acurate, with good readable maps, great information about the many areas that it covers and a fun book to browse through. I've lived in Seattle for many years and it was great fun reading through this delightful book. I will be purchasing 'Not for Tourists' for my self.
NFT Seattle Guide - Relocation

Amazing breakdowns of the neighborhoods - color maps, lists and locations of businesses and more. Nice glossy pages and more info than a short-term visitor could ever use - we bought it as a relocation guide and it has paid of in dividends for us! It helped us decide on which neighborhood to live in, helped us find businesses and services, and showed us fun places to eat and hang out. Use it for visiting but remember that it is also a fantastic book full of info to help you move to Seattle!
