Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RZNV69UN76Z71 I'm not a native but I've lived near Seattle for a long time, long enough to have moss on my toes. I bought one of these books because I like to have a pocket map and a place to take notes. This almost fits the bill. Why, the map is not up to the standard I'd like. I know this only because I found another pocket map Rand McNally Seattle Popout Map: Double Map But the popout map doesn't have any place to write anything. So if you are visiting get both. You can write on the one in the Moleskine book using either their tracing paper or if you are like me, just ink in the missing bits.
If you've never handled one of these Moleskine city books, they are not guidebooks. They are a book for making a self guide book, i.e. When someone tells you, visit blah,eat here, look at this or that...you can write it down in the indexed section so you'll remember it. If you run into a cool place and want to mark it on the map that allows that, take a note about something so you can ask about it later, plenty of pages to write in, or draw doodles on.
These books are from the days of pen & ink and not digital ink so if you like this sort of thing and are frustrated with your several hundred dollar iApple product because you dropped the stylus or the thing itself, and now it won't boot and tech support from India says, you need to upgrade to the next expensive bit of hardware get one of these. They are low tech and actually work even after being trashed around quite a bit. You can even tear out a page and hand it to someone. But bring your pocket digital camera, it's very beautiful here especially in the summer.

I received my Seattle Moleskin- My only beef with it is that it doesn't include my neighborhood, or Office area (I Live South of the city, and work East of the city) I wish there were downloadable maps so I can add pages at the same scale. Beyond that, it's cool.
