Olympic
Peninsula: The Grace and Grandeur
Tour Washinton State. Cherished
for its natural beauty, the Olympic Peninsula is one of the
America's most unique and diverse regions. And as the destination
of approximately three million travellers each year, it is also
one of Washington state's most visited areas. Bounded by the
Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Puget Sound,
the Peninsula is home to temperate rain forests, ice cold rivers,
giant trees, brilliant waterfalls, alpine peaks, breathtaking
glaciers, and an abundance of wildlife, including seven species
of salmon and the Roosevelt elk. At the heart of the Peninsula
is Olympic National Park. Established in 1938 to protect the
most wild and beautiful part of the Peninsula, the park features
three distinct ecosystems: the snow-capped Olympic Mountains,
old-growth rain forests, and wilderness Pacific coast. Nearly
600 miles of hiking trails criss-cross the park, and access
by road is limited. Circling the Peninsula is Highway 101, which
meanders through charming coastal fishing villages and the logging
town of Port Angeles. The Olympic Peninsula is organised with
a drive along this route in mind, starting from Port Townsend
in the north-east corner of the peninsula and driving west toward
Port Angeles and Crescent Lake before heading south toward Forks,
the Pacific coast, and Queets. Along this route, you will encounter
alternative routes that lead off the beaten path to seemingly
untouched coastal areas or into the wild interior of Olympic
National Park, where hiking trails abound. This spectacularly
picturesque area is captured through the stunning, vivid photographs
of Mike Sedam. This is the Olympic Peninsula in all of its splendour
and magnificence, in all its grace and grandeur.

the spirit of this remarkable area and its many contributions
to American culture. Covering not only Seattle but the region
around the city, including Puget Sound, the North Cascades,

Wild
Seattle: A Celebration of the Natural Areas In and Around the
City
Seattle is famous for its breathtaking natural environment,
from the islands and waterways of Puget Sound to the oldgrowth
forests of the Olympic Range to magnificent Mount Rainier. Now,
in celebration of this scenic city, Wild Seattle explores the
incredible natural treasures to be found within a 90-minute
drive from downtown. More than 130 stunning full-color images
of wildlands, parks, and preserves by renowned nature photographers
Terry Donnelly and Mary Liz Austin are perfectly complemented
by an evocative text by acclaimed author and Seattle native
Timothy Egan. The natural landscapes of the greater Seattle
area are remarkable in scope. Separate chapters in the book
showcase retreats such as Schmitz and Discovery Parks; the scenic
islands of Puget Sound; the Olympic Peninsula, including the
eastern side of Olympic National Park and the Kitsap Peninsula;
Mount Rainier and its environs, from Mount Rainier National
Park to the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge; and the magnificent
North Cascades, including Cascade Pass, the Skagit, and the
Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. In each chapter, the
photo gallery gathers both glorious panoramas and intimate close-ups,
revealing the incredible diversity of flora and fauna to be
found in each area. An afterword by longtime conservationist
Doug Scott highlights the efforts, both past and present, to
protect the Seattle area's natural habitats in the face of rampant
urban growth. Wild Seattle is sure to entice residents and visitors
alike to explore familiar landscapes and discover surprising
wild places while deepening their appreciation for these incomparable
natural treasures.
