Seattle Time Travelers

By Jean Godden

Paul Dorpat, the man who calls himself "a tourist in my own town," has been portraying Seattle for decades. For the last 37 years, he's been using his photo-historic know-how to create the "Now & Then" newspaper column that appears weekly in Seattle Times' Pacific Northwest magazine.

Over those years, Dorpat has published three "Now & Then" books.  But now he and his business partner Jean Sherrard have outdone themselves. They have just unveiled "Now & Then: The Historic Hundred." The hardcover anthology showcases 100 vintage photographs, paired with new and matching full-color "now" photos taken by Sherrard. It's a coffee-table-sized compendium, a look back at looking back.
