10:30 AM – David B. Williams: Stories in Stone: Travels Through Urban Geology
Elliott Bay Book Co.
It’s a field trip! Don’t forget your sack lunch…
Science writer and geology enthusiast David Williams will talk about his work then take attendees out and about to observe some of Seattle’s urban geology. “When most of us pass through the Concourse A food court at Sea-Tac Airport, we’re likely to notice coffee cups, bagel crumbs, and frenzied fliers trying to retie their shoes outside the security checkpoint. Seattle freelance writer David B. Williams sees beyond all that: He sees Jurassic-era fossils in the concourse’s limestone walls. In fact, Williams says every stone structure has a geological story that goes back to Earth’s creation.” — Town Hall Seattle
