Unboxing the Seattle Literary Map, now available at local booksellers and libraries! A Map of Places and People created by Seattle City of Literature, part of @UNESCO ‘s Creative Cities Network, designed by Erin Shigaki, cartography by Gregory Woolston.
Crews recently completed the design and installation of new tables, seats (including accessible seating), and concrete pads at Tilikum Place, a tiny park in the northwest corner of downtown Seattle that features a life-size statue of Chief Sealth.

Spot #62: tables on Cowlitz Rd walkthrough between Maple and Lander Halls, University of Washington. Shaded between buildings and not a far walk from the Burke-Gilman trail and Portage Bay. #seattle#uw#WritingCommunity#writers#writing
Spot #59: tables in Hing Hay Park, International District. Some covered by paper umbrellas, or under a roof. Ping-pong, cornhole, etc kinds of games around, usually fairly bustling. #seattle#WritingCommunity#writers
Spot #32: tables and chairs in McGraw Park, downtown. About a half dozen tables, near the Westlake street car stop and the monorail. Shade dependent on buildings.
Spot #47: 7th floor of the 4th and Madison building. Take the “podium elevators” in the west corner of the 4th floor or to the right from the 3rd ave entrance. A dozen tables, uncovered with a 3/4 surrounding city view. Mon-Fri, 7a-5:30p. #Seattle#writing#POPS#writers
Spot #56: shaded table off the Duwamish trail, West Seattle. A view of the city over the calm waterway, some traffic sounds. More tables nearby in həʔapus Village Park. #seattle#writing#WritingCommunity
Spot #53: Table under a willow in Seward Park. Walkers and joggers pass on one side while the water laps on the shore. There’s a makeshift rope swing if you’re feeling adventurous. #Seattle#WritingCommunity#sewardpark#writing
Spot #57: two tables under a willow near UW south campus. Right on Portage Bay, looking out over the water to the neighborhood of the same name. Boats going by and rolling their wake onto the shore. Shaded mostly. #seattle#writingcommmunity#writingspot#uw#writing

Spot #60: public seating outside Seattle Dumpling Co. & others off Post Alley, Pike Place Market. Often busy, yet secluded. Good for an eat and write session, perhaps. #seattle#writing#WritingCommnunity#pikeplacemarket
