Don’t miss the opportunity to hear the two authors of Seattle Geographies at our next meeting.  You know we have mountains and lots of water but we are relatively small as a city; why are we considered important?  And what about Social Geography?  That was not covered in my Paleolithic Era geography class.  What does that mean?  How can our quirky political leanings color our persona as a city?
