Join author David B. Williams for a conversation about his 2025 book, Wild in Seattle: Stories at the Crossroads of People and Nature. Published in April, Wild in Seattle contains 47 essays exploring the geology, flora, and fauna around Seattle. Williams, an award-winning natural history writer, explores the way both nature and humans have shaped Seattle, from earthquakes and tsunamis to animal migration and architecture. David will be joined by historian Judy Bentley, author of Hiking Washington’s History and Walking Washington’s History to discuss how history and geology has shaped our city.
