Amazon.com description

It's an enormous region, the Pacific Northwest. Encompassing Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver, it's also an area frequently traversed from stem to stern in one gigantic adventure, or by selective piecemeal, combining forays to coast and desert, island and mountain pass. However you do it, it's handy having the whole territory contained between two covers, so that along with the skinny on history, hotels, and restaurants, you'll know that the Gilbert House Children's Museum (built to honor the man who invented the Erector Set) is in Salem, Oregon; that Hart Mountain and Poker Jim Ridge (3,600 feet above Warner Lakes, in Oregon) are exceptionally beautiful and rich in wildlife; where to hear blues in Seattle; when the ferries go to Victoria, and where to go for scones and clotted cream once you're there. All this without scrambling between a multitude of guidebooks. --Stephanie Gold
