Seattle 100: Portrait of a City is the culmination of a two-year personal project by renowned photographer, filmmaker, and social artist Chase Jarvis. Both a creative project and an insightful ethnography, Seattle 100 shares—via more than 300 stunning black-and-white portraits and biographies of each subject—a curated collection of leading artists, musicians, writers, scientists, restaurateurs, DJs, developers, activists, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, and more, all of whom are defining and driving culture in Seattle. Some faces you will know, other names you may have heard in passing, and others will have been unknown to you until now. With this book, Jarvis has created a snapshot of a city’s culture through its people. And it’s inclusive. Descriptive rather than prescriptive. It’s a 100, not an exclusive the 100, and it invites each of us to survey our own surroundings, our lives, our friends—and those not yet our friends—that make up the place we live, whether that’s Seattle or anywhere else. Individually, the images and words here introduce you to 100 engaging and important people. Collectively, this portrait of a city tells a fascinating, interwoven story about a unique and vibrant place. Beyond the photos and commentary by Jarvis, there are pithy musings by a select handful of subjects on the topics of art, food, community, region, culture, and film. In addition, many of the subjects share their favorite things, places, and doings in and around the Seattle that they have explored, discovered, and rediscovered time and again. Chase Jarvis is donating 100% of his artist proceeds from this book to the amazing arts and culture organization www.4culture.org.

Reflections of Seattle's Chinese Americans available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "Through 71 intimate stories and portraits, elders in Seattle's Chinese American community share, for the first time, their personal memories, both sweet and bitter. In their own voices, they describe their early life in Chinese villages, their passage to America and Seattle's Chinatown. They share their experiences working in laundries, restaurants and canneries. They tell of the climate of racial discrimination, the era of World War II and the community that emerged after the war." "These stories are supplemented by an original historical essay on Seattle's Chinese American community by Doug Chin. The essay provides a window for understanding the struggles and achievements of Chinese Americans during the period from 1860 to the 1960s, the landmark first 100 years."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book was released on 2018-02-18. Seattle 100 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Seattle 100 brings together a collection of one-hundred photographs to illustrate this west coast great city. The project emphasizes the city over people, and pays attention to compositions with geometry and contrasts. It gathers a wide suite of classic Seattle locations and structures, while following the photographic style I have used in other 100 series topics, including Peru, Chile, Lima, and Santiago. Compared to other cities that are current projects for additional 100 collections, Seattle was amazingly easy to photograph. This is part due to the spectacular setting of the city with its extensive waterfront and green surrounding forests, but also is because of its well-developed financial center with numerous urban themes that reflects the city being the northwest's port to the Pacific.

Foodies can binge on savory seafood at The Walrus and the Carpenter, swank fare at Canlis, burgers at Dick's and a cornucopia of organic, sustainable delights at the neighborhood farmer's market. Outdoor adventurers can take on Mount Rainier, or closer to home, trek out to the lighthouse at West Point or sail out on the Sound.

Music lovers can find bands to listen to every night, for cheap and without the hassle of ticket haggling -- and they can also pay homage to Jimi Hendrix in his hometown. Others can take in the big top antics of Teatro ZinZanni, burlesque beyond boudoir aspirations and the raucous energy of Rollergirls.

These things are true, but there's so much more to discover in this crown jewel of the Pacific Northwest. Yes, the legacy of Nirvana still runs through independent music stores and radio stations, but the influence of Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones, Pearl Jam, Macklemore, and many others also energizes the city's vibrant music scene. Food lovers will taste the sea almost everywhere, but Seattle's delicious eats are shaped by the cuisines of the world, from Asia to the American South. Sports fanatics will delight in the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks as well as thrill to the exciting and high-energy Rat City Roller Derby. If you're looking for adventures outside the arena, you won't be disappointed. Set in the middle of a nature-lover's paradise, the area offers mountain climbing, hiking, rivers, beaches, gardens, even seaplanes, if you want the view from above. Let this second edition of 100 Things to Do in Seattle Before You Die be your guide to the Emerald City, whether you're here for a festival, a family weekend, or a lifetime.
