From the Back Cover
Washington Curiosities is your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things Washington State has to offer. Travel writer Harriet Baskas has combed Washington for one-of-a-kind gems that make her home state truly unique.
You'll meet a man who owns the world's second largest Frisbee collection; tour the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute; discover where to go to taste a gigantic cherry pie; take a dip in the healing waters of Soap Lake.
Whether you were born and raised in Washington or are a recent transplant, Baskas's home-grown humor will have you laughing out loud as she introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed - right in your own backyard.
