Residents and visitors in today's Seattle would barely recognize
the landscape that its founding settlers first encountered. As the
city grew, its leaders and inhabitants dramatically altered its
topography to accommodate their changing visions. In Too High and
Too Steep, David B. Williams uses his deep knowledge of Seattle,
scientific background, and extensive research and interviews to
illuminate the physical challenges and sometimes startling hubris
of these large-scale transformations, from the filling in of the
Duwamish tideflats to the massive regrading project that pared down
Denny Hill. In the course of telling this fascinating story,
Williams helps readers find visible traces of the city's former
landscape and better understand Seattle as a place that has been
radically reshaped. Watch the trailer:
