Compilation of 17 maps showing Seattle area retail site locations, in Adobe Acrobat format, (mapbook.pdf). 1.15 MB. This document is an appendix from a report by Dick Nelson and John Niles for the Mineta Institute at San Jose State University. The point of the maps is to illustrate variety and dispersion in shopping, recreation, and cultural activities that are the destination of non-work travel. These maps cover the central Puget Sound region. Data were obtained from Puget Sound Regional Council, and from Yellow Pages listings.
