Little Washington presents 100 of the state’s tiniest towns. With populations under 3,500, these charming and unique locations dot the entire state―from Neah Bay along the Northwest coast to LaCrosse, a farming community in the eastern county of Whitman. With full-color photographs, fun facts, and fascinating details about every locale, it’s almost as if you’re walking down Main Street, waving hello to folks who know all of their neighbors.
The selected locations help readers to appreciate the broader history of small-town life in Washington. Yet each featured town boasts a distinct narrative, as unique as the citizens who call these places home. These residents are innovators, hard workers, and―most of all―good people. The locations range from quaint to historic, and they wonderfully represent the Evergreen State. Little Washington, written by Nicole Hardina, is for anyone who grew up in a small town and for everyone who takes pride in being called a Washingtonian.

With stunning photography on every page, this coffee-table treasure will transport you on a visual journey through the wonders of Washington. Highlighting the state’s most beautiful spots and famous landmarks, Washington: The Evergreen State is a must-own for every Washingtonian.

This beautiful edition illustrates the grandeur of Mount Rainier and its surrounding environment. It introduces the men, women and children who pioneered the mountain from its western flanks to the agriculturaly-rich Yakima Valley... the Rainier Byways.
