Nice "Northwest travel guide"

I visit Portland often and have long wanted to also spend some time in Seattle. As much as I get to Portland, I had no idea about some of the places mentioned in this book. Lots of attractions, where to eat, where to shop, what to wear in both Portland & Seattle, and so forth. With all the times I've been in the great Northwest, I had no idea how much there truly was to see in both cities. And the book is written in a casual enough style, so that not only can you read about various places to see, but also this can be used as a quick reference.The next time I travel to Portland (and when I get up to Seattle), I'm definitely taking this book with me so I can visit some of the areas and restaurants I've missed in my previous travels there.Anyone planning a visit to either city will enjoy this book.
