Help in enjoying our Pacific coast line,
By Sheri Lee Stritof (Ocean Park, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon and Washington, 4th: Scenic Driving Tours along Coastal Highways (Paperback)
This book has up to date, factual, interesting and on target information about the Oregon and Washington coast lines. The chapters each describe a community and its weather, events, attractions, lodging, restaurants, and more. If you are thinking about exploring the coastal areas of the Pacific northwest, make sure you have this volume with you.

Good on the towns, not much in between,

This review is from: Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon and Washington, 4th: Scenic Driving Tours along Coastal Highways (Paperback)
This is basically a list of towns in the order that you hit them driving Hw101. Its OK if thats all you want but don't expect much guidance on things off the beaten track, or indeed anywhere outside a town! I found the Rough Guide Pacific Northwest book

needs a little color,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon and Washington, 4th: Scenic Driving Tours along Coastal Highways (Paperback)
I'm sure some of the information in this book may be outdated by now (published in 2000) as things do change, but I bought this book thinking it would be second best to actually taking the drive, which is a little beyond my means to actually do. So I wasn't expecting 100% accuracy as much as I was hoping for more scenic photos. In fact, the few that are included are quite small, and black-and-white! This could have been a much better book with color photos.
