Purchase options and add-ons

Where in Seattle can you get married in a shipping container? What about play vintage pinball games, visit a mummy, or rent an elephant? Is the Fremont neighborhood really the center of the Universe? Where can you research the occult, conspiracy theories, and other topics people don’t want to talk about? With Secret Seattle: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure in hand, you’ll discover the unique destinations, colorful history, and wacky legends that make the greater Seattle area such a popular destination to live and visit. You’ll find out if the Seahawks really did cause an earthquake and what happened to the Bubbleator. Researched and written by travel writer Mary Jo Manzanares, this book serves as a guide to places you might never discover on your own. Whether you’re a local looking for something new or a visitor wanting to feel like a local, Secret Seattle lets you in on dozens of secrets around the Emerald City.

Great guide to Seattle's wacky, weird, and lesser known places to visit
I've visited Seattle before and completely missed everything in this book. Haunted brothels, vintage telephones and pinball machines, people sized eyeball sculptures, Bruce Lee's favorite restaurant, a candy museum... sounds like I need a second visit.Great book for anyone planning a trip to Seattle, or someone living in Seattle who has yet to explore all that the city has to offer. I'm excited to check out Seattle through a fresh set of eyes in the future.
