About this listen
From ancient cedar forests to tech-fueled skylines, Seattle’s story is one of transformation, tension, and tenacity. In this immersive and emotionally resonant narrative, author Derek Monaghan traces the city’s evolution across ten vivid chapters—blending historical clarity with cinematic prose.
Explore the legacy of the Duwamish people, the fire that reshaped downtown, and the gold rush that turned Seattle into a global gateway. Witness the rise of Boeing, the roar of labor strikes, and the counterculture movements that redefined civic identity. From the grunge explosion to the tech boom, WTO protests to pandemic resilience, this book captures the soul of a city that listens, adapts, and endures.
Whether you're a lifelong Seattleite or a curious traveler, A Brief History of Seattle offers a powerful reflection on the people, places, and forces that shaped the Emerald City—and continue to shape its future.
