Great Guide To The Pacific Northwest

FODOR'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST, 17TH EDITION is a great guide to Oregon, Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia, with extensive sections on Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, and Vancouver, as well as a full guide to all of the national parks and other outdoor activities on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border. The sections on major cities (Portland, Eugene, Tacoma, Seattle, Vancouver) offer full coverage of the best attractions, dining, nightlife, shopping, and lodging in those areas. The latter includes University Village and Easy Street Records in Seattle, Clackamas Town Center Mall, Lloyd Center Mall, and Washington Square Mall in Portland, and the Tacoma Mall in Tacoma. This is a wonderful book which you shouldn't pass up.

Great recommendations!

We used this book on a 10 day trip to Oregon and Washington and had a great experience. Any of the Fodor's recommendations we tried were excellent, including scenic highways to take, restaurants to try, and hotels to stay in on the coast. We had a great trip and much of it can be attributed to the excellent tips in this book. It's important to check costs of entry to different places before going, though, because the book can't stay updated with the changes these places make. We found a few places where prices have changed since it was published.

A Great Guidebook

I recently bought this book for a recent trip to the Pacific Northwest: Portland, Seattle, Vancouver and Whistler. I found this guide to be extremely helpful both before and during my travels. I was impressed that I was able to find information other than the typical, popular tourist attractions in the main parts of each city. I also liked that they highlighted the "bests" of each city, as well as reccommended activities based on your length of stay. I was slightly dissappointed with the lack of information in the "Whistler, BC" and the quality of the maps (only in Black and White, and only a few neighborhoods for each city.) I think these shortcomings are minor, and would highly reccommend it.

very thorough and helpful

i bought this book along with fodor's guide to b and b's in the pacific northwest. this guide is a good one, both for residents who haven't had time to really see the area and for tourists. its the only one of the guidebooks that i browsed that has accurate information on doing a circle tour of the olympic peninsula. and it has a section that recommends itineraries for one, three, and seven days.
