Walks and Hikes on the Beaches Around Puget Sound

Crotchety. Ascerbic. Knowledgeable. Daring. Joyful. Just a few of the words that describe this wonderfully well-researched guide to the shorelines around the Whualg (want to know what the Whualg is? Get the book and look it up!). Harvey Manning has been around the Puget Sound a long time, and opens up an arcane world that not even natives and locals may know about. Parks, bird sanctuaries, bright beaches and mysterious aging forests. A feeling of secret enjoyment at every step. Meadow walks, seabirds and sea-mammals. If you're going to live in the Pacific Northwest, and you're really going to hit the beaches, you have to have this book.
