The blurbs
A total of 25 Seattle notables have weighed in on Seattle Now & Then: The Historic Hundred. Here’s a sample:

If you love a city, you want its story, not only in words, but also with a vision of its evolution.
Paul and Jean meet that desire in these pages, a brilliant melding of story and photo – a vivid journey from that long ago Then to Now.

former KING-TV and KIRO-TV journalist
