What a pleasure to share the stage with Nathan Vass once again after six [pandemic] years to discuss his new book “Deciding to See” before another enthusiastic audience at Elliott Bay Books last night! We published his first book “The Lines That Make Us” to critical acclaim and his compassionate perspectives and thoughtful insights to the human condition and urban community continue to resonate. I’m honored to be able to collaborate with him once again.

“We did good and what we did was indelible.”⁠ ⁠ Seattle’s story isn’t just in its skyline, it’s in the places we’ve loved and lost. Earlier this year, “Signs of Vanishing Seattle” author Cynthia Brothers and founder of @vanishingseattle and @tomepress designer/publisher Tom Eykemans (@teykem ) teamed up to talk about their collaboration and the beloved vanished places that inspired the book. Tap the link in our bio to hear their talk from @townhall_seattle .⁠ ⁠ #seattle #vanishingseattle #seattlehistory⁠

Gratitude to everyone who came out to the Vanishing Seattle special book event & signing at Town Hall Seattle last nite!
