The Flora of Seattle in 1850, a master’s thesis by Raymond Larson (2005), concerns the time just before settlement by Europeans. The focus is on the existing plant species, and Larson explains that these can only be understood in the context of the significant variety of ecological neighborhoods. “The landscapes of Seattle in 1850 were not static. While most of the city consisted of coniferous forest in various stages of succession, the sheer range of conditions was surprising.” [excerpt from a longer review by Brian Thompson in Leaflet for Scholars, December 2018]
