This would be an excellent welcome gift for someone new to the region, or someone interested in exploring the outdoors for the first time. What sort of things do people around here do for fun? Where should be we go in the fall? Let's start planning our summer adventures now, instead of waiting until the campgrounds are all booked.

This is the book I wish I had when I first moved to Seattle. The author does a great job of sharing her enthusiasm for Washington in all four seasons. I appreciated the variety of locations and skill levels in the examples she provided. The links for additional information will be an invaluable resource for readers looking to dig deeper into a subject.

I'm sending this book back to the library and buying a copy to keep on hand for visiting grandchildren.

A nice book if you live close to Seattle, but not anywhere else in the state.
