Washington Off the Beaten Path A Guide to Unique Places 8th edition

Visit the American Hop Museum, the countrys only museum dedicated to this obscure vine used in brewing. Take a Chimposium workshop at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute. Or go for a dip in the rejuvenating waters of Soap Lake, popular ever since early settlers and Native Americans savored its healing properties centuries ago. So if you've “been there, done that” one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.

She is the author of several Off the Beaten Path® books and teaches about the business of freelance writing, novel writing, and travel writing at local colleges and universities in the Portland environs. Myrna lives in Fairview, Oregon. Sharon Wootton and Maggie Savage, travel writers and co-authors of You Know You're in Washington When ..., live on a small island in the San Juans but often catch a ferry to explore the rest of the state.
