Local author T.A. Warger is back with More Murder in the Fourth Corner. As with his first volume on this subject (see January 24, 2015) this book was carefully researched (there's a great bibliography) and well written. While it was interesting learning about this dark side of our past, do be aware that some of the descriptions are quite grisly.

The Seattle of the past looked much different than what we see today. Hills have been leveled, rivers have been straightened, tide flats filled in. Read all about this in Too High & Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle's Topography, by David B. Williams. From

the geologic past, to future concerns, this was a fascinating read. (It'd be wise not to be in one of the buildings built on the old tide-flats when the Big One hits).

The book Fairhaven, by Brian L. Griffin came out just in time for Christmas! This was just a great read! From glaciers, to present day, boom to bust to rebirth, this is an easy to read history of my favorite part of town.
