The Good Rain: Across Time & Terrain in the Pacific Northwest
by Timothy Egan
This is an excellent book. Timothy Egan shows you what the Pacific Northwest is all about by describing his visits to the places described by Theodore Winthrop's "The Saddle and The Canoe" The first book ever written about the Pacific Northwest based on the author's visit in 1853.
Tim Eagan tells you about the mighty Columbia River, Mount Rainier, The Salmon, Olympic Mountains, The history of Seattle, and the First people here, and clearly reveals the source of the tension that exists in Seattle between the old and the new. The conversationalist and the capitalist. This area of the world contains breathtakingly beautiful scenery, however, the timber industry and the Army Corps of Engineers threaten to destroy it by aggressive deforestation and by killing the salmon runs by damming and drenching the rivers the salmon use to travel to their birthplace.
Very good book. If I could recommend just one book about the PNW, it would be this one.
