Handy, Thorough & Easy to Use
As a 20-year Seattle resident, I found things here, especially insider tips, that I didn’t know before. I use it to get last-minute contact information, prices, directions, and hours of operation for restaurants, events, and attractions. It’s a handy guide and easy-to-use. I’m recommending this app to my out-of-town friends when they come to Seattle.
Very cool!
Love the photos and detailed information in this guide about one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. Very comprehensive and useful.
The Soul of Seattle
This guide lays bare the soul of Seattle for all to see and experience. It made planning my day’s activities and evening restaurant selection easy. With all the details at my fingertips, I even showed my brother-in-law, who’s lived here 20 years, some new things.
