Seattle is a dynamic metropolis of theaters, museums, shops and superb restaurants; Portland, the "City of Roses", is a fun-loving place of numerous beer and arts festivals, alongside theaters, cultural attractions, parks and gardens. As for the Pacific Coast Highway, it supplies a breathtaking motoring experience, all well captured in this new EasyGuide. Author Donald Olson, a longtime Portland resident, has crisscrossed the region and personally visited every place named in this book…and many he deemed not worthy to cover.
