Map... check. Highlights... check. More acitivities than you can do in a week... check.
It isn't an encyclopedia, but it is more than enough than the average person needs... especially if you want to carry it around with you.

This book would be great if you where planning to move to Washington but is useless as a travel guide. The entire description of hotels is about two pages long and just gives the phone numbers of a few hotels. Very little detail on attractions. It is not worth the $11plus price tag.
