Visit Seattle

“The skyscrapers across the water might be a bracelet across my wrist.” So writes E.J. Koh in her memoir "The Magical Language of Others." Find joy along the shores of West Seattle's Alki Beach in this excerpt read by actor Erika Christensen.

Each episode of Seattle Bookmarked—a video series produced in partnership with Visit Seattle—draws viewers into a literary passage set in Seattle that illuminates the city’s unique character and charm. Iconic Seattlites, such as actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Seattle Seahawk Bobby Wagner, crack open a book that catapults viewers to attractions like Pike Place Market, Gas Works Park, the International District, and more. The series invites viewers to see Seattle in a new light, and as a colorful and creative cultural destination. This execution also extended off the screen, as an onsite activation at The Atlantic Festival, where Visit Seattle hosted a branded booth and poetry slam.
