What is the foggiest place on the Pacific Coast?
Where is the "grass seed capital of the world"?

What percentage of Idaho's population hold fishing licenses?
Northwest natives and newcomers can turn to the
Atlas of the Pacific
Northwest for answers—and for a wealth of other information
about the region.
The
Atlas of Pacific Northwest has
been respected for nearly fifty years as the standard reference book on Washington,
Oregon, and Idaho. This new edition has been completely revised and updated
to include the most recent information, incorporating data from the 2000 census,
in an easy-to-use format. In addition to over 200 insightful maps, graphs, and
tables (many in full color and, for the first time, all created digitally),
the
Atlas contains 18 authoritative essays by leading experts on topics ranging from climate to tourism, from land use to ocean resources.
The
Atlas is a unique resource:
an invaluable reference tool, an excellent teaching aid, and a handy introduction
to the character of the region. No other single volume provides more comprehensive
and up-to-date information about the natural environment and human activities
in the Pacific Northwest. The new edition documents recent growth and change
in the three states. It helps us to better understand the past and to plan for
the future. No Northwest library, classroom, business, or household should be
without a copy.
"An illuminating and useful work.... [It] provides the
answers to many questions both young and old ask about the Pacific Northwest."
--Oregon Historical Quarterly
"With keen interest in the Pacific Northwest as a region to study or relocate to, this title is highly, recommended."
