This guidebook was perfect for my summer trip to Seattle, Portland, and down the Oregon Coast. I found it very usable, and its small size was ideal for carrying everywhere I went. I found information on nearly every site I visited, and the multiple suggested itineraries were extremely helpful as I planned my trip.

This book made me even more excited to visit Portland and the Oregon Coast. Wonderful background information, lovely personal touches, and I will work really hard to remember that it is the Wil-am-ette not Wil-a-mette River!
