Roddy Scheer is a Seattle-based journalist, photographer, author and guide. He has travelled extensively in North America and beyond, and maintains and updates an archive of hundreds of travel articles and tens of thousands of professional landscape and wildlife photographs.
His latest book, Wild Seattle: Explore the Amazing Nature in and around the Emerald City, helps residents and visitors alike find nature within the biggest city of the Pacific Northwest.
Hear Roddy discuss this latest release and his other work on a recent radio interview conducted by Sea Change Radio and syndicated out to 87 radio stations nationwide…
What’s next? Roddy recently completed a new manuscript for Timber Press entitled Wild Portland which gives the same thorough treatment he gave to Seattle’s nature and wildness to Portland, Oregon. Wild Portland should be hitting bookstore shelves in June 2027. Roddy recently embarked on his next project for Timber, Wild Bay Area. Look for that one to come out in June 2028.
Besides his editorial work, Roddy leads kayak tours of Seattle’s inland waterways through Agua Verde Paddle Club. Photographers and others would enjoy kayaking through Seattle’s urban wilds and capturing unique landscape and wildlife images along the way.
