Not as full of information on the major cities
I was mainly staying in the three major cities and was looking to find accomodations, restaurants and things to do while there. I purchased this book to accompany me on a roadtrip from Portland, Oregon through Seattle to Vancouver, Canada. 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. .

Entire Trip Planned from this One 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. I planned an entire 11 day trip to Seattle and the San Juan Islands with this book. 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.

Still the best guidbook out there
The information is unfailingly reliable as well as encyclopedic, and the editors' discernment shows through in all aspects: lodging, meals, touring, siteseeing, etc. 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. Certainly the best choice for anyone visiting the area, whether a first-time visitor or a happy returnee.
