Local author David B. Williams’ Seattle Walks: Discovering History and Nature in the City leads readers through loops and one-way strolls, traversing terrain ranging pockets of downtown, to North and West Seattle. Each walk tells a story, exploring how Seattle came to be the city it is today through both big and small details. But in the years since it was first published in 2017, the city has changed -- in more ways than one. Williams wanted his walks to reflect the history of that change too. A new edition of Seattle Walks releases today with routes both new and familiar. To understand the changes in the book and on the ground, Soundside host Libby Denkmann joined Williams on one of his newly designed walks – a stroll through Seattle's Central District.

Guest author David B Williams joins us to talk about his book,  HOMEWATERS: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound . Interviewed by novelist Erica Bauermeister.The Chuckanut Radio Players are up to their usual head scratching antics in a new episode of As the Ham Turns.  Joining us from across the pond is our musical guest, Schnickelfritz.Our resident poet, Kevin Murphy has sharpened his pencil for some fresh performance poetry. Hosted by Village Books' Co-Owners, Kelly Evert and Paul Hanson. Rich Donnelly announces.  Performed live at the Hotel Leo in Bellingham, Washington, the City of Subdued Excitement.  

Join us in this episode for the field trip of a century. Our guest, geologist-historian David B. Williams, illuminates the Pacific Northwest's characteristic highlands and waterways as landscapes of perpetual transformation. With a wry wink, this raconteur's stories fuse the sensitivity of a naturalist with the diligence of a research geek. Amble through Seattle with David as he reveals his city's subterranean secrets: A mosquito fleet schooner lost somewhere below downtown's streets; old growth forests immersed under Lake Union; an art deco office tower whose foundation stones invite us to touch “deep time”—almost unimaginably greater than the time scale of human lives and human plans we hold so dear. David's tales animate the experiences of early Seattleites who swung picks and shot water cannons to forcefully reshape our glacially-formed landscape into a modern metropolis; a progression that continues today in response to climate change. "I'm interested in connections…How are we influenced by the landscape around us? And then, it's the connections between people and place." ~David B. Williams

Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound (University of Washington Press, 2021) tells a story about exploitation and a story of hope. Focusing on the life histories of both humans and the natural world, Williams  presents an account of how people and place are connected by demonstrating the transformation of the landscape through geologic, ecological, and cultural lenses. Through conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, and getting out in the field himself, Williams traces how humans have developed their infrastructure around Puget Sound while documenting the human interaction with species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. While addressing critical issues linked to iconic species like salmon and orca, the book works to capture the complexities of ecosystems through in-depth dives into the life histories of rockfish, herring, kelp, and oysters. Williams contends how it is not too late to right the wrongs through responsible action and scientific innovation if we recognize the issues created by a colonial legacy, including social injustice towards native peoples, pollution, and exploitation.

THS Communications Manager Kim Davenport interviews David B. Williams, author of the new book Homewaters, now available from University of Washington Press. Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change. With thanks to Tacoma Creates for support of our public programming.

In this episode Matt Crawford speaks with author David B. Williams about his book Homewaters. Williams introduces us to The Puget Sound by taking us back in time and deep under the surface to show us what makes this beautiful ecosystem tick and envelopes us with its rich history. As Williams goes on scientific studies regarding, Herring, Rockfish, Kelp and the terrifying Geoduck he brings us along to learn in the most vibrant prose, engaging all our senses while we read. You might find yourself apologizing to Herring and Kelp as I have. Maybe not Geoducks. Listen to find out why.

For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region’s ecological complexities. In this week’s episode, Senior Correspondent Steve Scher talks with naturalist and educator David B. Williams about his book Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound. Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound, sharing from conversations he conducted with archeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities. He traces how generations of humans have interacted with species like geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He also presents an unflinching look at how the Sound’s ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change. With wit, grace, and a depth of information, Williams introduces newcomers to the astonishing life that inhabits the Sound and offers lifetime residents new insight into and appreciation of the waters they call home. With the 51st annual Earth Day in sight, join Williams and Scher as they offer a poignant reminder that, as life returns to “normal,” business cannot go back to normal when it comes to restoring our planet. David B. Williams is a naturalist, author, and educator. His many books include the award-winning Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle’s Topography and Seattle Walks: Discovering History and Nature in the City. Steve Scher is a podcaster, interviewer, and teacher. He worked in Seattle public radio for almost 30 years. He has taught at the University of Washington since 2009.
