This title evokes all the charm of pre-war Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver and Victoria, touching as it does on establishments (in Seattle, anyway) as diverse as the old Rhodes Department Store, the Doghouse, Maneki's (still serving excellent Japanese cuisine) and even the good ship Kalakala -- once the fastest ferry in the world. Features Manca's, still recalled by old-timers as purveyors of the famous Dutch Babies. Increasingly uncommon. Northwest boosterism at its best. SMITH, 4372.
