The Hidden guidebook series hot-peppers its pages with little arrows that point to a multitude of off-the-tourist-track sites.

About the Author
Eric Lucas likes to be near the city but also enjoys staying away from the crowds (like any Hidden guide!). That's why he lives on Vaughn Island in Puget Sound (a 30-minute ferry ride from Seattle), where he claims the local population of semi-famous artists and writers leave their keys in their ignitions to accomodate one another's unexpected transportation needs. An avid outdoorsman, he loves British Columbia's tall, forbidding mountains as much as its sophisticated cities

Best Washington State Travel Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hidden Washington: Including Seattle, Puget Sound, San Juan Islands, Olympic Peninsula, Cascades, and Columbia River Gorge (Paperback)
[...] One of my computer-side companions has been Hidden Pacific NW and now Hidden Washington. I've seen a lot of the state and know Eric Lucas knows Washington, so his book is a great reference when needed. What I really like is his "hidden" finds at different places. If you want a book that portrays a true picture of what you might find in Washington and is easy to use, Lucas's book fits the bill. I would recommend it for all visitors and newcomers to the state.

Great Way to Vacation,
By Vacation Fun (Brookfield, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hidden Washington: Including Seattle, Puget Sound, San Juan Islands, Olympic Peninsula, Cascades and Columbia River Gorge (Hidden Travel) (Paperback)
The guide was a great reference for our recent vacation. We used it successfully to locate interesting sites as well as lodging and food by area. I recommend it to anyone as a guide to pick out how to spend limited vacation time.
