About this title

Synopsis

The first-ever guide to Washington's south Puget Sound, with 800 unique, local features. No global brands, no shopping malls. Every feature is fresh and distinctive. The Guide is organized geographically in 40 distinct hubs,each with its own restaurants, places to stay, museums, historic attractions and outdoor activities. Heavily indexed, the Guide includes vegan and gluten-free dining, bird-watching sites, public art and a black-lite 3-D miniature golf course [one only]. There are no glossy photos of tulip fields or lovers on the beach at sunset; instead the Guide is bursting with original pen & ink drawings by Sean Alexander and distinctive maps for all the neighborhoods. Written by two dozen local artists and printed in the U.S., the Guide is a grassroots collaboration - and the best way to explore the South Sound, whether visitor, newcomer or long-time resident.
