The Good Rain: Across Time & Terrain in the Pacific Northwest
by Timothy Egan
Informative and beautifully written, essential reading for the Northwest. It's a bit out of date, having been written 30 years ago, but still relevant to PNW culture. I'd love to see a 30 year anniversary edition with a new chapter or two on how things have changed since then. The profiles are sometimes a tad reductive, almost to the point of comedy (the chapter on Victoria for example made the whole town sound like a British cult), and it's depressing as hell to read all the reminders of how humans are murdering the natural world with no regard for the future. But overall, stellar writing and highly recommended. 4.5 stars.
