Study Ghosts Of Seattle Past Illustrated By Jaimee Garbacik Available In PDF

reading for anyone living in Seattle, Transplants will glimpse the culture they are entering and natives will connect with their root, I've learn just how necessary it is to explore the history of the place I reside, as told by diverse voices, to establish a sense of groundedness and adding depth to the streets and neighborhoods I traverse.
Mostly flipped through the Capitol Hill chapter, Also loved the interviews with Ken Workman about Duwamish heritage and Kibibi Monie about the Black Arts/West theatre, Really cool idea for a collection, but as a new transplant, . . made me sad about the death of local art/culture spaces lol, Interesting concept, but drags on a bit too long, and may have worked better with tighter editing, or perhaps by mixing up the interviews oralhistory style.
Seattle is built on boomslogging, fishing, aerospace, and now tech, This anthology gathers essays, interviews, photography, and comix to reconstruct community hubs lost to growth, From the settlements of Native American tribes to the incubators of grunge, from a foxxxy cabaret to an Old Spaghetti Factory, Ghosts of Seattle Past provides an eyesonthestreet view of a city in flux.


The Ghosts of Seattle Past anthology comes at a critical point: Seattle had the countrys steepest rent hikes in, The city is becoming a national focal point for issues of development, Both recent transplants and the old guard are trying to figure out how to live in the new landscape, Through their warm, conversational, whipsmart voices, the city speaks not only to the current boom, but also to longerbrewing problems of segregation, queer erasure, and colonization.
Tracing the issues across six handdrawn maps, Seattles bestknown artists including Elissa Washuta, Kate Lebo, and Paul Constant join community lynchpins including Chief Seattles greatgreatgreatgreat grandson in a dialogue as incisively political as it is richly human.

Josh Powell, artist behind the anthologys handdrawn maps, is the former director of allages youthled music and arts organization The Vera Project and cofounder of Seattle nonprofit The Bikery.
He currently works at Seattles largest environmental remediation firm, Really great collection, which gave me a link to a Seattle that I never knew being too young and too poor to pay Seattle's entrance fee.
This is a terrific idea, but the actual read was disappointing, The writing quality varied quite a bit, but none of it was that great, The topics fell too hard on bars and nightclubs, and there were several giant gaps in what could have been covered, Found this book in my local museum and thought it sounded interesting, This is not "ghosts" in the spooky Halloweeny sense, but ghosts as in somewhere that no longer exists in Seattle, but for whatever reason is a memory in someone's life.


Stories have been collected, detailing the contributor's memories of a now missing local site, A chunk of time in their lives when the site meant something to them or played a large or small part in their being.
Not sure how they were collected, these are not famous people, or even widely known locally, but contributors who were willing to share a piece of themselves to be immortalized in this book.


Included in the book are hand drawn maps of the areas portrayed in the book, Notes also indicate a website that shows the sites that contributors have added and the ability to anonymously request an add for a personal favorite site.


I requested an add for the neon rice bowl sign on the corner ofth Ave S and Main Street, Been there since thes at least, sitting between Chinatown and Japantown Nihonmachi, A hill on two sides, and the restaurant that it belonged to had an equally daunting set of stairs from street level to restaurant proper.


Interesting premise, odd execution, I liked this book for the most part, This book is a collection of some reminiscences, It was a an interesting and personal selection of places and essays, personal looks at a city changing so fast,
