ArchitectureWeek Description
Since 1924, The Olympic Hotel has been a place in Seattle to stay, dine, consult and entertain. As the new stewards and operators of The Olympic, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts commissioned History Ink/HistoryLink to prepare this book on the occasion of The Olympic Hotel's 80th year of operation. Author Alan J. Stein traces the history of the hotel's site (the original campus of today's University of Washington), the public campaign to build a "community hotel," the numerous events and celebrities it has hosted, and The Olympic's rebirth in the 1980s to the present.
