The book begins with Vancouver, an early cosmopolitan settlement on the Columbia which brought together Chinook traders, British and American explorers, fur companies, missionaries, and settlers, and ends with Bellevue, a farming community turned bedroom community that did not incorporate until 1953 and was able to plan with a clean slate. In between, the book takes armchair and actual tourists through Olympia, Walla Walla, Tacoma, Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, Yakima, and Spokane, choosing a path through each that highlights aspects of Washington's history that are compelling to encounter in that particular place. Each chapter features a historical overview, a guided walk, and a map, and the book will include a modest selection of historical photos"--Provided by publisher.Walkingfast(OCoLC)fst01170049Historic sitesfast(OCoLC)fst00957846Cities and townsfast(OCoLC)fst00861748WalkingWashington (State)GuidebooksHistoric sitesWashington (State)GuidebooksCities and townsWashington (State)GuidebooksWashington (State)fastWashington (State)History, LocalWashington (State)GuidebooksLocal history.Guidebooks.Walking.Historic sites.Cities and towns.WalkingHistoric sitesCities and towns979.7Bentley Judy1477708Bentley Judy1477708MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910798175803321Walking Washington's history3693064UNINA
