Autorenporträt

Clark Humphrey has observed and chronicled Seattle's happenings and changes for more years than he would care to remember. He's seen Seattle transform from a boom-and-bust industrial city into today's fast-growing, fast-moving tech mecca. He's walked his way through every Seattle neighborhood except the gated Broadmoor. He's a former staff writer with The Stranger and The Comics Journal, and a former book reviewer for The Seattle Times. His other books include LOSER: The Real Seattle Music Story (reissued by MISCmedia) and Vanishing Seattle and Seattle's Belltown (both Arcadia Publishing). He continues to write about the city, its growth, and its contradictions daily at miscmedia.com. He's a fourth generation Washingtonian and a University of Washington alum.
