“The 1962 World’s Fair put the spotlight on Seattle, a city so overwhelmed by staggering natural beauty it dazzles no matter which direction you look. Roger is in love with this glorious city, and the World’s Fair is his creation. He hangs out with Elvis, greets Prince Phillip, and chats up LBJ. Roger is an idea man, a promoter bursting with dreams for his city and the energy to make them real. Fast forward to 2001 and Roger is still in love with his city, but he knows it could be so much more! He’s tired of being behind the scenes, so he steps out front and center in a run for mayor. Helen is hired by the Seattle PI; the Pulitzer fuels her daydreams. Taking down charismatic Roger just might be her ticket. You cannot stay active in city politics for forty years and stay clean. Lynch has written this entertaining and thought-provoking book like a love song to one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And Roger is a pretty cool guy. Hang out with him at the fair for a while and revisit the past. It’s closer than you think.”—Deon, Sunriver Books & Music.
