With full-color photographs, fun facts, and fascinating details about every locale, it’s almost as if you’re walking down Main Street, waving hello to folks who know all of their neighbors.
Inside You'll Find
- Details about 100 small towns—with entries from every county
- Full-color photographs, fun facts, and fascinating locations
- Guide to exploring these quaint and historic locations
- Insights from an author who has lived in various parts of the state
The selected locations help readers to appreciate the broader history of small-town life in Washington. Yet each featured town boasts a distinct narrative, as unique as the citizens who call these places home. These residents are innovators, hard workers, and—most of all—good people. The locations range from quaint to historic, and they wonderfully represent the Evergreen State. Little Washington, written by Nicole Hardina, is for anyone who grew up in a small town and for everyone who takes pride in being called a Washingtonian. They may be small towns, but they have huge character!
Trade Review“Hardina’s book is part history, part travelogue and all love letter to the Evergreen State.”
