Review of 'Waterway' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Large format (coffee table) book that still contains a lot of history (words). The maps and bird's eye views are quite nice. Liked the information about the Black River and salt water wedge, would have liked more lake-changing biology information.

I was drawn to this after reading Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle's Topography. This book stays more on topic with more illustrations, and was overall a better information source - though it focused only on the lakes and ship canal. The historical photos and maps were a definite plus. Recommended!
