Visit Seattle

Books offer a doorway to the places we love. Here, Seattle Seahawks linebacker (currently on Washington Commanders) Bobby Wagner reads an excerpt from Daniel James Browns’ “The Boys in the Boat” that evokes the serene beauty of Washington's waterways.

Each episode of Seattle Bookmarked—a video series produced in partnership with Visit Seattle—draws viewers into a literary passage set in Seattle that illuminates the city’s unique character and charm. Iconic Seattlites, such as actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Seattle Seahawk Bobby Wagner, crack open a book that catapults viewers to attractions like Pike Place Market, Gas Works Park, the International District, and more. The series invites viewers to see Seattle in a new light, and as a colorful and creative cultural destination. This execution also extended off the screen, as an onsite activation at The Atlantic Festival, where Visit Seattle hosted a branded booth and poetry slam.
