2.0 out of 5 stars there are better books, April 4, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Pacific Northwest (Paperback)
i bought this book because i read the review that gave this five stars. as a resident of washington state, i was very disappointed with the restaurant and hotel suggestions provided. since when should the space needle restaurant be a 'recommended restaurant?' it's pricey and noisy, and the food is ok - exactly what you'd expect from a touristy place. you are better off having a GREAT takeout meal at the buffalo deli on 1st avenue - which has the best sandwiches downtown - and taking your lunch to pike market to watch the ferries.

what about great, out of the way places to stay, like pensione nichols, which is inexpensive and charming?

you are better off buying the fodor's gold guide, or frommer's guide to washington state if you are looking for 'local color.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Trace the lesser-known sights., July 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Pacific Northwest (Paperback)
Most people are aware that the Space Needle is in Seattle and that the Columbia River Gorge is a must-see on any trip to the Northwest. But where should you turn for information about watching the killer whales (orcas) among Washington's gorgeous San Juan Islands? Fishing along the rugged Oregon coast? Hiking in country said to be frequented by Bigfoot himself? Parasailing over Puget Sound? Engaging some llamas to carry your gear on a camping trip to the high country? And much, much more. "Adventure Guide to the Pacific Northwest" will take you where you want to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Organized, Valuable Guide Book, January 8, 2005
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Pacific Northwest (Paperback)
Adventure Guide to the Pacific Northwest by Don & Marjorie Young is a Hunter Travel Guide which I can also highly recommend. We love traveling in the Pacific Northwest but there is so very much to see I couldn't imagine how they could get it all into one book, but they have done a very good job of it! The organization of the book makes it easy to find just what you want in each area from restaurants and places to stay in all price ranges, tours, camping, information sources, maps, etc. I especially like the sections called Adventures which have separate catagories for on foot, horseback, wheels, water, and snow. This is a guide worth having and nominally priced
