“There is a rain that almost defies description in these parts—somewhere between mist and showers.” —from the foreword by Jean Sherrard
In Seattle: Rain or Shine, Rik Katz presents a powerful portrait of the Emerald City—capturing its beauty and grit through a sharply observant lens. From fogbound ferries and shimmering high-rises to intimate glimpses of everyday life, Katz reveals a Seattle that is deeply alive, shaped as much by its people as by its weather.
With a career that began in the analog era of the 1980s, Katz brings the eye of a photojournalist and the patience of an artist to each frame. His images bridge the worlds of documentary and fine art, offering quiet moments of clarity in a fast-moving city.
In addition to the paperback binding, we are pleased to offer 200 limited edition hardcover copies of this book. The limited edition hardcover of Seattle: Rain or Shine includes an original, signed photograph from Rik Katz.
