A complete guide to non-tourist Seattle

Synopsis

This is a small book published in 1962 (pre space needle) as a guide to inexpensive places to eat, drink, and be entertained in Seattle. It was a time when Pioneer Square was just being revitalized, Seattle downtown's tallest building was Jackson Tower, and Bellevue was the sleepy town across Lake Washington. It was a time when Seattle law forbade the selling of alcohol on Sunday, and women were not allowed to sit alone at a bar.

Few of the businesses mentioned still remain. Ivar's, of course, and Place Pigalle. Intriguingly he mentions a tavern named Red Robin - but surely it has no relationship to the modern 'masters of mixology' and mythic burger chain the very first Red Robin according to this article in wikipedia.

Sadly, there are no photographs, and only very generic line drawings.
