I purchased this book while in Seattle. It is becoming dog earred and well loved. Have yet to find a recipe that is not wonderful. To bad it is no longer available. Tried to buy it for a relative. It is a tremendous cookbook.

These Junior League books are great! I love them. I have the other Seattle Junior League book and I use that one all the time. (Yum - chicken cous cous salad!) This book is packed full of favorites - easy stuff you can make on the weeknights. I love the menu planning feature in the beginning of the book because sometimes it is hard to put together a whole meal that works. They do it for you!

Seattle Job Source is a professional job hunter's guide to careers int he Seattle area, featuring listings and contacts for over 3,000 employers in just about every field imaginable. The majority of this guide is simply a cover-to-cover listing of addresses, phone numbers, and websites. Seattle Job Source is a very nicely organized, "user friendly", and highly recommended reference for any Seattle-area job-hunter.

The Seattle Super Shopper is a great book. The amount of stores that Vicki Koeplin went to and discussed is enormous. Plus all the information wriiten about each is sure to help you find exactly what you are looking for, and find it discounted, too. The time she spent on the book is probably way too many to count. I recommend this to anyone interested about shopping and finding great deals too

This has the wonderful photos we've come to expect from big, glossy garden books. But it also has an unusually literate text (from Brit-born Higgins, who writes regularly on gardens for the Washington Post) that makes the book of interest to out-of-Washington gardeners as well as those interested in Georgetown backyards. Higgins is also unusual in giving credit to the gardeners who do the upkeep on these gardens as well as the landscape architects who got big bucks for designing and installing them. One interesting note: one of the gardens belongs to Christopher Ogden, another to Pamela Harriman. Ogden, a Time magazine Washington correspondent, wrote a biography of the late Mrs. Harriman which she didn't much like. Higgins is soon to publish a guide to gardening in the Washington area which ought to be good.

My wife and I really enjoyed using this book. Walks on Capital Hill to Magnolia to Pioneer Square revealed many things that we did not take the time to notice before.

Our favorite was probably Capital Hill, it tooks us about 3.5 hours to complete and we've done it many times since.

This is one of the most well done guidebooks I have ever seen. Some of my friends refer to the first volume of this book as "The Bible of Northwest Climbing." This one is destined for the same accolades.

The book itself is made of heavy stock paper - something that you can throw around in your car and not worry about too much. The black and white pictures are awesome and the route descriptions are well written. Hardware suggestions appear to be appropriate and the permit information looks good too.

This book describes 96 new routes and includes crag climbs (something which was not covered in the first edition). Perhaps the best thing about this book is that most of the climbs are somewhat off of the beaten track and not the most well known. Every self-respecting climber in the northwest should own both of these books - they're guaranteed to get you excited and help you pick your next trip.

I thought this might be a tabliod type expose, but to my delight, it really is a thorough, factual work. Each and every president is covered and the historic research is evident. Many sections are dry and boring only because those presidents weren't particularly sex driven men. But the notable exceptions like Lyndon "Bull Nuts" Johnson, Jack Kennedy and others make this an eye opening and shocking account of what our presidents really are doing behind closed doors. After reading this book, you want to give this country back to King George! 5 stars to Nigel for his tireless research and fact finding.

Kate MacLean and Sam Morrison's easy relationship, forged by themselves to suit themselves and the needs of their work as police detectives, is in sharp contrast to the community Kate finds herself up against, alone, when a beautiful high school girl shows up dead in a bucolic state park near Seattle. The girl has no ID, but her out-of-style homemade clothes are soon traced as the uniform of a Christian school nearby. In this school and its church, things are regimented, and husbands and wives play expected roles. The lives of children are supervised every moment. Stay-at-home moms deliver their children to school and pick them up and dating is never allowed. So how did Sarah get out to die? Ministers, teachers, and parents insist it was impossible, so Sarah must have been kidnapped by one of those "whackos" of the world. This just proves they are right in being so strict. They are suspicious of Kate, a single woman in pants who is also a cop, and circle the wagons against her. How she uses her powers of observation to find the cracks in the armor is a fascinating study. So is the view of what makes a group like this church tick. Gilpatrick is sympathetic, not accusatory. MacLean likes these people, but she has a murder to solve. Tension is added by whether Sam really will quit being a detective, and office politics by male detectives who really don't want Kate around. Interesting side plots that serve as red herrings made the murderer totally opaque to me untill the end, and then completely inevitible. Do read this one.
