Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Seattle and Portland [Paperback]

Paul Karr (Author)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

November 7, 2003 Irreverent Guides (Book 15)
"Like being taken around by a savvy local."
–The New York Times

"Little fluff and lots of fun."
–Boston Globe

"Hipper and savvier than other guides."
–Diversion magazine

Are you tired of cliché-ridden guidebooks packed with promotional fluff? Then move over to the IRREVERENT GUIDES–the travel series that no tourist board would dare to recommend.

Look inside for the lowdown on:

  • Hotels that make you glad it rains all the time
  • What Seattle envies about Portland, and why Portland wishes it could be more like its northern neighbor
  • Must-see places like the Portland grade school that serves excellent pizza and beer, and the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat
  • Where to rub elbows with Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and their minions of Microsoft millionaires
  • How to dress down to fit in with the "Aggresively Plain" Northwest fashion scene
  • And much more!

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

For this update, Paul Karr pulled on rain gear and walking shoes, bolted down hightest espresso, and chowed down on market fare from Ballard to Bremerton—coming away as determined as ever that Portland and Seattle are two of the great American cities. When not covering the wonders of the Pacific Northwest, Karr writes and relaxes in New York City, New England, Canada, and Europe working on other guidebooks. He is the author of the Irreverent Guide to Vancouver and Frommer’s Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island, among many other titles.
