Entertaining and humorous, this book explores the truly peculiar and odd locales around Washington—from bizarre roadside attractions to natural wonders to places touched by the supernatural. Here’s a few samples taken from hundreds of fascinating factoids in Weird and Wacky Washington Places:
- The Hoh Rain Forest is the only rain forest in the U.S., and it is home to Washington’s largest tree, a 200-foot high Sitka spruce
- A 15-foot-high teapot at Zillah that was built as a political statement for the Harding Teapot Dome Scandal
- 11,000-year-old spear points housed at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma
- The Washington Park Arboretum is a living plant museum with 200 acres of plants and shrubs of the Pacific Northwest
- Lawyer, humanitarian and road builder Sam Hill built a replica of England’s Stone Henge on a hill overlooking Maryville
- Seattle’s famed Ye Olde Curiosity Shop boasts shrunken heads from Ecuador, a two-headed calf and a mermaid
- At low tide there can be as many as 786 islands in the Puget Sound.
