Book Review

More Voices, New Stories: King County, Washington's First 150 Years. Edited by Mary C. Wright, with an introduction by Charles P. LeWarne. (Seattle: Pacific Northwest Historians Guild, 2002. 263 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, index. $17.95, paper.)

San Francisco excepted, no city on the Pacific Coast has received more attention from historians than Seattle. Historically-inclined readers are familiar with Murray Morgan's journalistic classic Skid Road (New York, 1951), Roger Sale's elegant reflections in Seattle: Past and Present (Seattle, 1976), and Richard Berner's detailed, three volume survey, Seattle in the 20^th Century (Seattle, 1991–1999). Scholars, meanwhile, know of the many other works—books, articles, dissertations, and theses—dealing, in various ways, with the community's often colorful and occasionally instructive story. Is there anything new, one might wonder, to be learned about Seattle? A good deal, the reader discovers, upon perusing the essays in More Voices, New Stories. Mostly the work of young writers, these accounts "bring to light," as the distinguished regional historian Charles LeWarne points out in the introduction, "[g]roups and facets not truly forgotten but never wholly developed" in the traditional literature (p. 16).
