Historic Seattle’s recently produced 40thAnniversary publication, Tradition and Change on Seattle’s First Hill: Propriety, Profanity, Pills, and Preservation, is now available for sale! This beautifully-illustrated history makes a perfect gift for those interested in regional and local history, architecture, and culture.

Each chapter explores and reveals the essential nature of a different historical, cultural, or social dimension of First Hill. We hope it will encourage longtime and newly settled residents, office workers, shoppers, concert and lecture attendees, and visitors to think about what makes this place special and worthy of preservation.
