The classic guide to the Evergreen State, Moon Handbooks: Washington leads you to the Olympic Peninsula's lush rain forests and long sandy beaches, glacier-clad Cascades summits, friendly eastern Washington towns, and the urban delights of Seattle. Author Don Pitcher helps readers hike on Mount St. Helens, whale-watch at Westport, shop at farmers markets, enjoy the best brewpubs and coffeehouses, and experience city nightlife. He also includes details on intriguing and offbeat destinations, such as the graves of Chief Seattle and Jimi Hendrix, and the Bavarian-style village of Leavenworth.

[Howard Frisk · Rating 4 out of 5]

I purchased this book many years ago, and it has been an invaluable resource on my road trips around the state. I have several books about travelling in Washington State, and this book by far has the most detailed information. The only drawback is that the quality of the photographs is quite poor, and the maps have extremely small print, which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

If you are not bothered by these drawbacks the book is worth buying.
