Product Description
The classic guide to the Evergreen State, Moon Handbooks: Washington leads you to the Olympic Peninsula's lush rain forests and long sandy beaches, glacier-clad Cascades summits, friendly eastern Washington towns, and the urban delights of Seattle. Author Don Pitcher helps readers hike on Mount St. Helens, whale-watch at Westport, shop at farmers markets, enjoy the best brewpubs and coffeehouses, and experience city nightlife. He also includes details on intriguing and offbeat destinations, such as the graves of Chief Seattle and Jimi Hendrix, and the Bavarian-style village of Leavenworth. "The best guidebook I've found is the well-written Moon Handbooks: Washington." -- The Washington Post

Moon Handbook: Washington State May 15, 2008
Sara J. Ashman (Central NY)
My son recently moved to Washington State and I wanted a book that would help him get acquainted with his new home state. I enjoyed reading it, and he has found it to be an excellent resource.
Excellent guide to an amazing area January 19, 2008

I turn to Moon Handbooks first for nearly every trip, and I haven't been disappointed yet. This is the first time I've bought a Moon Handbook that covers an entire state; the coverage is less in-depth for specific sites of interest like Olympic National Park, yet there is plenty of information for the many places a visitor to Washington State might want to see. Reading this book made me look forward to my trip even more.

The first Moon book that I purchased several years ago was the book on Oregon. We made significant travel arrangements based on the information in that book and we were never disappointed.
An upcoming trip to Seattle/San Juans is based on the information in the Washington book. The real beauty is that the book leads you to the most likely area to visit, gives references to hotels, etc., then you can complete your research by reviewing up-to-date information about that spot/hotel online. We chose Orcas island for 2 days before heading to Seattle and I do not expect to be disappointed.
The authors are even-handed and complete --- they are not elitists, reviewing only the high-end accomodations. They have a good sample of a broad range of places. They point out lesser known restaurants and scenic spots as well.
I have found their advice in the Oregon, Washington, Coastal California and New England books to be quite excellent.
I have purchased quite a few different travel books in the past, but Moon Handbooks are my travel book of choice.

Even though published in 2003, this is by far the best advailable WA guide book. I would not think of visiting a state without the appropriate Moon supplemented by the WPA guidebook for that state[published in the thirties]
More useable info than any other book September 4, 2005

This book covered every area we were interested in visiting. It was dead on the restaurant and lodging reviews. Prices have gone up for lodging but other than that very informative and well used on our trip. We had the Frommers book and off the beaten path book. The Moon book was the one we kept going back to.
