Book excerpt: "Seattle's first street railway opened in 1884. Soon private trolley and cable car lines ran throughout the city, and hillside properties became prized building lots.

Through narrative, maps, and previously unpublished photographs, author Mike Bergman delivers a detailed jaunt through Seattle's fascinating streetcar era"--
