David B. Williams writes about science and history. His many books include Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound; Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle's Topography; Stories in Stone: Travels through Urban Geology; and, with Elizabeth A. Nesbitt, Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils of Washington State. Williams writes a free weekly newsletter, The Street Smart Naturalist.

"It's easy for Seattleites to forget, in our landscape of looming cranes and instant skyscrapers, that our town has a history. . . . David B. Williams' mission is to help you find that history. It's still there, in the nooks and crannies and corners of the city (though you might have to look up to find it)."
