Unless we plan carefully, the scenic beauty, the working farms and forests, and the distinctive communities along this route could be smothered piece by piece under the next wave of urban growth.” James R. Ellis (1921 - ) “Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” Miriam Beard (1901 - 1983) “Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So. get on your way.” Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991) 4 Contents Introduction................................................................................................................... 5 About the Author and This Project ............................................................................... 7 THE PUGET LOWLAND: SEATTLE TO NORTH BEND........................................ 9 The Downtown Seattle Waterfront ..............................................................................
