    Synopsis

    A Seattle resident and specialist in Puget Sound railroads tells the story, from the initial government surveys to the completion of the Milwaukee Road. He discusses the individual lines, the intense rivalry between Seattle and Tacoma, and the personalities and urban aspirations that eventually floated Seattle to the top of Washington commerce. The volume is 10.5" deep to accommodate the many photographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
