I understand the term "edge city" has something to do with a certain pattern of urban and suburban development, and is not a reflection on Bellevue as a suburb -- although it isn't -- of Seattle. Still, though the term is used in the book's subtitle (but not, as has it, as "Leading-Edge City") and the foreword by Connie Marshall and Kemper Freeman, I didn't see it actually defined anywhere in the text.
Still, that minor quibble out of the way, I admit to being a fan of Walt Crowley and the gang at HistoryLink.org. I thought they did a very good job with the earlier "Seattle and King County Timeline," and am pleased to see they have turned in another fine work. Though long in the shadow of her sister across the lake, Bellevue has a story of her own. Alan J. Stein and the HistoryLink staff have assembled a good narrative and a great selection of images, and built them around the timeline itself, which runs from 10,000 BC to the present.
Now a major city in her own right (and growing such that maybe someday Seattle will be her suburb?), Bellevue deserves an accessible and entertaining history like this one. Proud citizens, or anyone else interested in the history of this region, ought to find this little book worth checking out.
