David B. Williams is a freelance writer in Seattle. Originally raised in Seattle, he went to college in Colorado where he initially studied physics but switched to geology.[1][2] He received a Bachelor of Arts in geology from Colorado College and worked as a park ranger at Arches National Park in Utah.[3] Williams returned to Seattle to be a writer of natural history books and occasional urban geology tour guide.[4] He was employed at Seattle's Burke Museum as of 2014.[5]

Williams' interest in urban geology was sparked by the use of stone in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel.[2]
