| Summary: | "Discover the popular destinations and hidden gems along Washington's coastline, from the Mukilteo Lighthouse to the Wedding Rocks petroglyphs and beyond. Learn about the seafaring Coast Salish people, who navigated the waters of the Pacific Northwest for thousands of years, and the early exploration and settlement by European-Americans in the late 18th century. Delve into the expansion and growth that led to the development of international ports and the modern maritime economy. View the enormous sternwheel snagboat, W.T. Preston--one of a trio that kept inland waterways navigable for nearly a century--and hundreds of other fascinating sites"--Cover. "Exploring Maritime Washington is the first authoritative travel guide to the state's nautical heritage, telling the colorful story of the Coast Salish people's original residency and seafaring for thousands of years, early exploration and settlement by European-Americans in the late 18th century, and expansion and growth into today's innovative high tech, culturally diverse international maritime economy. Exploring Maritime Washington is as much an indispensable travel guide as it is a thoroughly researched history book"--Publisher. |
