Walking Washington's History

Walking Washingtons History: Ten Cities, a follow-up to Judy Bentleys bestselling Hiking Washingtons History, showcases the states engaging urban history through guided walks in ten major cities. Using narrated walks, maps, and historic photographs, Bentley reveals each citys aspirations. She begins in Vancouver, established as a fur trade emporium on a plain above the Columbia River, and ends with Bellevue, a bedroom community turned edge city. In between, readers crisscross the state, with walks through urban Olympia, Walla Walla, Tacoma, Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, Yakima, and Spokane. Whether readers pass through these cities as tourists or set out to explore their home terrain, they will discover both the visible and invisible markers of Washington history underfoot.
