Ghosts of Seattle Past: An Anthology of Lost Seattle Places

If you ever start to forget what the old, weird Seattle was like (or if you never knew), you'll want to have this big hodgepodge of a book nearby. Garbacik, a self-described "guerrilla ethnographer," put out a call for pieces on Seattle places that had gone, and these are the ghosts that appeared, some remembering places from as long ago as Seattle's First Peoples, some lost as recently as the Greenwood explosion of 2016. Some short, some long, some sweetly sentimental, some slightly bitter, all deeply personal reminders of the flavors, the smells, the habits, that are lost to any kind of change.
