Its tumultuous history reflects a broader story of immigration, labor battles, and technological change. The 2001 Nisqually Earthquake brought fresh urgency and opportunity to remake this contested space, sparking intense debates over historic preservation, the environment, and Indigenous connections long ignored.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Today, the revitalized Waterfront Park offers a new chapter in this ongoing story. The removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the reconstruction of the seawall have redefined how the city interacts with its shoreline. With its blend of historic structures and reimagined public spaces, the waterfront will continue to shape Seattle’s identity. Street signs now mark Dzidzilalich, acknowledging the presence of Coast Salish peoples, while restored piers recall the area’s industrious past.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Jennifer Ott details the waterfront’s history, from its deep past to its complex present. Her book reveals how battles over control, identity, and space have forged one of the city’s most iconic places, with a layered history that mirrors Seattle itself—rich, diverse, and constantly evolving.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">(HistoryLink and Documentary Media, 2025)<br />ISBN: 9781933245744<br />Pre-order <a href="https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9781933245744/where-the-city-meets-the-sound/">online</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/Content/bookstore/images/Port2edcover.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="" /></p> <p><strong>Rising Tides and Tailwinds: The Story of the Port of Seattle, Second Edition</strong></p> <p>By Casey McNerthney, Kit Oldham and Peter Blecha</p> <p>A century ago, Seattle was held hostage by its own waterfront. Competing railroad companies built a chaotic sprawl of rail lines, docks, and warehouses along the shoreline of Elliott Bay, creating conditions so bad that visionary civic planner Virgil Bogue called the harbor side "a blot on the city and a menace to the lives of its people." After years of bickering and lawsuits, the 1911 Port District Act was passed, making the Port of Seattle the first public port formed under legislation. The new public seaport briefly became the second busiest in the country during World War I. In the 1940s the Port of Seattle agreed to provide civilian air services by building Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which today serves millions of passengers per year. This new edition covers the innovative Northwest Seaport Alliance, created in 2015 with the Port of Tacoma to jointly operate commercial shipping out of two harbors; the rise of cruise ship travel and the accompanying economic boom; Sea-Tac’s responses to 9/11 and the Covid-19 pandemic; and the airport’s growth and new International Arrivals Facility. Revised and updated, this new edition brings the story of the Port of Seattle up to the present and marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of Seattle’s bustling international airport.</p> <p>(HistoryLink and Port of Seattle, 2024)<br />ISBN: 9781933245713<br />Available at local bookstores and <a href="https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9781933245713/rising-tides-and-tailwinds/">online</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/Content/bookstore/images/JimElliscover.pdf" alt="" width="250" height="" /></p> <p><strong>A Will to Serve: Stories of Patience, Persistence, and Friends Made Along the Way </strong></p> <p>By Jim Ellis and Jennifer Ott <br />Foreword by Sally Jewell, Afterword by Gary Locke</p> <p>Jim Ellis was one of the most influential and impactful civic leaders of Seattle's and Washington's recent history. Though he never sought elected office, his vision and drive were a key force behind many major projects defining our city, county, and region from the 1950s through today. From cleaning up Lake Washington, establishing King County Metro, and implementing the broad array of community-centered Forward Thrust improvement initiatives, to forward-thinking regional projects like the Mountains to Sound Greenway and the Washington State Convention Center, Ellis was astute at bringing together leaders across political divides to create consensus and effect change.</p> <p><em>A Will to Serve</em> is a story about the interconnectivity of Ellis's personal and civic lives. It's about individual people—family, friends, neighbors, colleagues—their shared challenges, and how they worked together for regional progress. The book provides insight into a tumultuous and dynamic period of our regional history and a window into the value of patience, persistence, and vision. Ellis kept notes on his life, projects, and experiences and built a deep portfolio of public speeches. He drew from these to shape his detailed and engaging autobiography. A Will to Serve, in Ellis's own words, is introduced and framed by former secretary of the interior and Jim Ellis mentee Sally Jewell. Several key accomplishments of his later life are presented by historian Jennifer Ott. It closes with an afterword by former Washington governor Gary Locke.</p> <p>(HistoryLink and Documentary Media, 2024) <br />ISBN: 9781933245706 <br />Available at local bookstores and <a href="https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9781933245706/a-will-to-serve/">online</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="/Content/bookstore/images/OlmstedinSeattle.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="" /></strong></p> <p><strong>Olmsted in Seattle: <span id="productTitle" class="a-size-large">Creating a Park System for a Modern City</span></strong></p> <p>By Jennifer Ott</p> <p>In the midst of galloping growth at the turn of the twentieth century, Seattle’s city leaders seized on the confluence of a roaring economy with the City Beautiful movement to hire the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm to design a park and parkway system. Their 1903 plan led to a supplemental plan, a playground plan, numerous park and boulevard designs, changes to park system management, and a ripple effect, as the Olmsted Brothers were hired to design public and private landscapes throughout the region. The park system shaped Seattle’s character and continues to play a key role in the city’s livability today.</p> <p>(HistoryLink and Documentary Media, 2019)<br />ISBN: 9781933245560<br />Available at local bookstores and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Olmsted-Seattle-Creating-System-Modern/dp/1933245565/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1Y2XF3QEUD8UN&keywords=olmsted+in+seattle&qid=1575926527&sprefix=olmsted+in+sea%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-1">online</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/bookstore/images/Seattleat150.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="" /></p> <p><strong>Seattle at 150: <span id="productTitle" class="a-size-large">Stories of the City through 150 Objects from the Seattle Municipal Archives</span></strong></p> <p>Edited by Jennifer Ott</p> <p>Seattle has packed a lot of history into the 150 years since its incorporation. Much of that history—the stories, the people, dialogue and debate, conflict and vision—is preserved in the Seattle Municipal Archives. The collection’s documents, maps, photographs, and ephemera bear witness to the texture, color, and voices of an ever-growing and changing city.</p> <p>The 150 artifacts highlighted in this book illustrate a transformed geography, developed and redeveloped neighborhoods, and waves of city-defining immigration and emigration. They show us how the city’s psyche and its physical and social landscape—its aspirations—were shaped. The steady push and pull of community organizers and civic leaders, and the everyday needs of the people who call this place home, give Seattle its remarkable spirit, just as they have since its first cornerstones were pounded into place on the shores of Elliott Bay.</p> <p>(HistoryLink and Documentary Media, 2019)<br />ISBN: 9781933245584<br />Available at local bookstores and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Seattle-150-Stories-Municipal-Archives/dp/1933245581/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=seattle+at+150&qid=1575926344&sr=8-1">online</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/bookstore/images/Transit.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="" /></p> <p><strong>Transit: The Story of Public Transportation in the Puget Sound Region</strong></p> <p>By Jim Kershner<strong><br /></strong></p> <p>Ever since the first streetcars rumbled through the streets of Seattle in 1884, public transportation in the Puget Sound region has been a wild roller-coaster ride, replete with scandals, triumphs, and momentous turning points. A complete rail transit system crisscrossed the region during the trolley days, only to be dismantled by 1941. After seventy years of turmoil—and traffic congestion—a new system, Sound Transit, arose in its place. The story is not just about trolleys, trains, and buses—it is also about the making and breaking of mayors and the way that Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett developed from the 1880s to today.</p> <p>(HistoryLink and Documentary Media, 2019)<br />ISBN: 9781933245553<br />Available at local bookstores and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Transit-Story-Public-Transportation-Region/dp/1933245557/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=transit+kershner&qid=1575926011&sr=8-1">online</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/bookstore/images/NWPPBook.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="" /></p> <p><strong>The Northwest Power Pool: A High-Voltage Story of Cooperation in the Utility Industry<br /></strong>By Jim Kershner<strong><br /></strong></p> <p>In the Pacific Northwest, home to the vast drainage area of the Columbia River and its tributaries, a consortium of utilities formed during World War II.
