1. If you're still using paper maps instead of GPS, this one is the one to have. Without a doubt, get the 3 county instead of the single King county map. It's big, but it's effective. Load the free cd in your computer too.



2. I decided not to go fancy, and buy a GPS navigation system. However I wanted a reasonably compact map book that I could carry in my truck. I drive mostly in Pierce County. I gave this map book a five because it illustrates all the local roads, and points of interest, at a fine level of detail. I use this all the time to look for shortcuts or to route around traffic jams and construction. Even if I had GPS navigation, I would still keep this book as a backup.

1. Crossword puzzles, cartons, and clever artwork make this book a great way to entertain and educate your kids about one of the greatest places to visit in the country. Each review reveals fun facts and an opportunity for kids to write, draw, or just play on the page.

4 comments about Best Places Northwest, 13th edition: Restaurants, Lodgings, Touring (formerly "Northwest Best Places").

1. Now in its updated and expanded 13th edition, Best Places Northwest is quite simply a 'must' for any who plan on touring the Pacific Northwest: it doesn't hesitate to pick only the best of restaurants, lodgings and tour opportunities throughout Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, and provides descriptions which offer plenty of insight on why the 'best' rating is deserted. A starred rating system allows for picking the 'best of the best'.



2. We've been using the "Best Places" books for travel in the Northwest for a number of years, and this year's edition is further proof that this is the best guidebook series going. The information is unfailingly reliable as well as encyclopedic, and the editors' discernment shows through in all aspects: lodging, meals, touring, siteseeing, etc. Certainly the best choice for anyone visiting the area, whether a first-time visitor or a happy returnee.



3. I planned an entire 11 day trip to Seattle and the San Juan Islands with this book. We stayed at an absolutely wonderful 65 room hotel right near the famous Market in Seattle, then we took the ferries (read about in the book) and stayed at a cabin on Orcas Island near the shore where we could use the canoes and explore the sea life. Then we stayed at great B&B on San Juan Island that also had a yacht you could sleep on, then another B&B on the olympic penninsula that specialied in French cooking. All theses places... were from this book! Fantastic.
   The star ratings guide help you decide what's right for you and the pricing guides are accurate.



4. I purchased this book to accompany me on a roadtrip from Portland, Oregon through Seattle to Vancouver, Canada. I was mainly staying in the three major cities and was looking to find accomodations, restaurants and things to do while there. The book has a brief section on the three cities which left me wanting more information. I think if you plan on spending time in the places in between, it is a great introduction to the Northwest. However, if you are just looking for specific information on a few (in my case, 3) it was not extremely informative. It gives you the best of the best. Just not much more than that.
