Seattle is a city shaped by nature. Perched between Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, it’s a place where forests press against skyscrapers, salmon swim through urban waterways, and bald eagles soar over morning commutes. Despite its reputation for tech and coffee culture, Seattle is also home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, from great blue herons stalking the shallows of Lake Washington to harbor seals basking on Elliott Bay’s docks, and Wild Seattle is your guide to it all. Equal parts nature guide and trip planner, Wild Seattle unveils the hidden nature in every park and waterway--and even your own neighborhood.

Roddy Scheer is a Seattle-based author, journalist, and photographer specializing in environmental issues, travel and the outdoors. He is the author of five guidebooks, most recentlyWild Seattle: Explore the Amazing Nature in and around the Emerald City. When he is not out in the field exploring and photographing, he runs EarthTalk, the nonprofit publisher of the nationally syndicated EarthTalk environmental Q&A column. A three-time Society of Professional Journalists “Excellence in Journalism” winner, Roddy has contributed to numerous regional and national publications and also leads kayak tours on Seattle’s inland waterways out of Agua Verde Paddle Club on Portage Bay.
