This pamphlet was published by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce in order to highlight places of interest for tourists visiting Seattle. The "Brief History" section highlights Seattle as a quick growing city able to offer a "range of attractions" that are argued to be unmatched on the continent. The pamphlet highlights many of the city's parks and outdoor recreational activities. Although the pamphlet is presented as Seattle-centric, many of the points of interest are focused on the idea of the city as a travel hub for visiting Asia, Alaska, Hawaii, and Europe. When fully unfolded the pamphlet opens to a 1920 Kroll map of Seattle.
