Street Smart Naturalist: Explorations of the Urban Kind

By Street Smart Naturalist: Notes on People

A free newsletter oriented toward building stronger connections to place through stories of human and natural history in the Pacific Northwest

I love the nuances of place. Like how “stale” in Colorado means dry, and only really affects bread, but means soggy in Oregon and renders crackers and chips mushy and inedible. In Street Smart Naturalist, David B. Williams gives all the lovely details that make Seattle different from any other place. He combines Seattle's nature and history to provide yummy insights into his home.
