Description


Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Evergreen State has to offer!
Pay your respects to the man considered the greatest martial artist on (and off) the big screen; the musician who wanted to know, "Are you experienced?"; and a grunge icon immortalized in an Aberdeen muffler shop.
Participate in the world's shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade; a celebration of slimy slugs; or a festival in honor of the low-calorie, high-protein lentil.
Visit a seventeen-foot-tall neighborhood troll under a bridge; snack on a three-quarter ton cherry pie; or slide down the handle of the world's largest Radio Flyer wagon.
Whether you are a born-and-raised Washingtonian or a recent transplant, author Harriet Baskas will have you laughing out loud as she introduces you to the
neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed--right in your own backyard.
