I bought this book for my first official, week-long trip to the penisula. I wasn't sure if I needed a guide like this with the abundance of travel tips and guides online, but I'm glad I bought it. The author provides a lot of fun insights as a person who grew up on the penisula. He adds in great recs (updated through the pandemic) and fun stories of the areas. I ended up reading this from cover to cover as we explored the port towns, the northern penisula, Hoh Rainforest, and the western coast. I do get the impression he does not enjoy the Twilight-fication of Forks.

This was a great travel companion. Highly recommend!
