Founded in 1851 as a four-cabin outpost named "New York Pretty-Soon," Seattle has long struggled with an identity crisis. From a nearly lawless port to a sedate, conventional company town defined by Boeing Aircraft to an accessible paradise for artists and recovering urbanites, Seattle strived to become bigger, wealthier, more like "major league" cities.

Fred Moody was raised in the Pacific Northwest. The former managing editor of Seattle Weekly, his journalism has appeared in numerous publications, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. His previous books include I Sing the Body Electronic and The Visionary Position. He and his wife, Anne, have three daughters and live on an island in Puget Sound, near Seattle.
