Summary: Traveler's Seattle
Comment: Very helpful book. Found commentary to be very useful on our recent trip. Would recommend for anyone who, like us, was not familiar with the city. Even saved us money!!

Summary: Best guide on Seattle I've found
Comment: This book is a great guide on how to get the most of of a visit to Seattle. Why visit a new city or place without knowing what to see? We always have limited time and money and so having a great guide is a must. Frommer's Seattle hits on all cylinders and I was very glad to have investing in it before visiting the wonderful city of Seattle.

Easy to read, easy to find stuff, tips on how to get the most our of even short visits. Not a lot of fluff.

Summary: Perfect for Tourists and Locals
Comment: I really enjoy the Frommer's book series. It is great for both tourists visiting for a weekend, and also those who recently relocated to a new city. This book is immeasurably helpful and well structured.

Summary: Good if all you want is tourist spots for families
Comment: I'm a Seattle mostly-native (been here for 20 years) and picked up this book so that my guests from couchsurfing.com might be able to use it to get around the city. Unfortunately, it hasn't been very useful for them because the vast majority of the stuff listed in the book is tourist traps. It might be a useful guide for an 40-50 year old plus person who likes chain restaurants, stereotypical tourist experiences, or for someone who's travelling with a family. However, if you're even remotely interested in visiting places where locals hang out, having experiences which don't cost an arm and a leg, seeing sights which you can see for free outside the confines of a tour bus, or eating at restaurants which are operated by locals for locals, I don't consider this guide very useful. A high percentage of the places it covers are downtown, but I don't know any local people of any age who hang out downtown unless they are there for work. Like any city I've ever visited, most of the interesting sights/restaurants/etc. are outside of the commercial/office downtown area.

I picked up a few other guides too... the most comparable is the Lonely Planet guide. I found it to be worlds better to the point where I would recommend it to almost anyone other than my grandma over the Frommer's. Other guides I found useful/interesting are eat shop seattle and not for tourists seattle.
