Washington State Place Names: From Alki to Yelm
291 pages, bibliography, index
Product Description
Place names are like the historical markers
past which we all speed in our cars, too preoccupied
to stop and enjoy them. The Strait
of Juan de Fuca, Puyallup, Anacortes, Walla
Walla—these are some of the place names
of Washington State. Scratch the surface
and spend a little time wondering from
whence they came and you will uncover a
wealth of lore, legend, and local flavor.
