1 comments about The Thomas Guide 2006 King County, Washington: Street Guide (King County Street Guide and Directory).

1. I moved to Seattle and bought this street guide the first day in order to get around. Technically, most of the information is in the book, but it has at least two major flaws. First, it does NOT cover all of King County. I bought a home on the edge of the county, and my house is off the map. Second, and worse, it evenly splits downtown Seattle into four maps. This is really bad - most people are at some point going to want to go downtown, only to find that the most interesting streets and locations require using 1, 2, or 3 pages for a trip from I-5 to your destination. Try locating the page you need in downtown traffic and you will quickly become either lost or dangerous.
   
   The publisher used some sort of existing map grid that was convenient to them but not to the reader. The maps are not numbered with a useful system, but rather their own internal numbering. For example, the four maps for downtown Seattle are 564, 565, 594, and 595. Of course, the book does not have 500 maps in it. More like 60. But this was apparently easier for the publisher and thus the book suffers. I would recommend almost any other street guide over this book.

3 comments about A Waterfall Lover's Guide to the Pacific Northwest: Where to Find Hundreds of Spectacular Waterfalls in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

1. This is an amazing book on locating the beautiful waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest. I own 2 of these books, 2nd and 3rd edition, and let me tell you, it has never let me down.

   The book gives great detail and levels of the waterfalls quality, difficultly of the hike and much more. It even teaches you on how to determine the type of waterfall that you are viewing.

   Mr. Plumb is the ultimate Mountaineer, and shows it through this amazing book. I call it my, "Waterfall Bible".

   I highly recommend it for all your searches for waterfalls, and even some that you didn't know existed -- great for picinics, extremists, photographers, and for those just in awe of their beauty!

   Don't pass this up, and at such a great price!




2. Great book, we had never been in these areas and were able to find everything very easily.



3. Used this book exclusively on my recent "waterfall tour" of Oregon and Washington. I wanted to make the most of day hikes to areas that had waterfalls. This book allowed me to plan my day-to-day itineraries and cram the most into the trip. Invaluable for a true waterfall lover. Waterfalls listed by geographical areas. Descriptions of some trailheads hard to follow, but maps were good. Decribes the difficulty to reach each fall (easy to need to be a bushwacking expert).

   My only disappointment is the newly built bridge near Elowah Falls that ruins the natural beauty of the falls... (not the author's fault).
