Digressions of a Native Son

Here is a book about Seattle written by a native with his own special view of a city he deeply loves. It is not a history. It has no chronological order. It is alternately sad, funny, indignant and detached. Emmet Watson has been chronicling events in Seattle for more than 30 years. Digressions of a Native Son captures those people and events and institutions that have highlighted Watson's years in the city. Young readers will be enchanted by the stories he tells; older readers will be caught up by the book's frequent moods of nostalgia, and newcomers to Seattle will gain a valuable insight into the fabric of a city they now call home.
