Terrific book of Washington's history. These authors have done such a great job gathering such minute details both big and obscure towns in the state. I will be checking this out next time we road trip.

I make a lot of road trips around Washington State as part of my photography work. This book has a huge amount of historical information about the big cities, small towns, industries and people that make our state so unique and captivating. I especially enjoyed the historical photographs and anecdotes about the people that lived in our land a hundred years ago. Especially in the small farm towns of eastern Washington, you can go there today, find old homesteads and barns, and learn the names of the people who built them. It is a wonderful way to connect to history.

The only drawback is that the quality of the photographs could be better, so that is the only improvement I could suggest.
