Knute Berger & Timothy Egan: 'Pugetopolis'
Veteran journalist and third-generation Seattleite Knute Berger thinks Seattle is turning into the civic equivalent of a Starbucks' Frappucino. Holding forth as "Mossback" over the years on the pages of Seattle Weekly, Seattle Magazine, and on Crosscut.com and KUOW, Berger's contrarian and libertarian view of life in Seattle have been compiled into a new book, Pugetopolis: A Mossback Takes on Growth Addicts, Weather Wimps, and the Myth of Seattle Nice. He appears with his friend, award-winning journalist and author Timothy Egan (The Worst Hard Time), to argue about whether the results of our pretensions of being a "world class city" end up leaving things worse than we found them. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Sasquatch Books, and Crosscut.com. Downstairs at Town Hall, enter on Seneca Street.
