About the Author

About the Author Karl Samson and Jane Aukshunas, a husband-and-wife travel-writing team, make their home in the Northwest, where they've never been able to decide which city they like best, Seattle or Portland. Together, they also cover the rest of Washington and Oregon for Frommer's. In addition, Karl is the author of Frommer's Arizona.
