Through a collection of vintage photographs, the Images of America series allows readers to explore the history that makes each city, town, or state unique. People Places Landmarks Industries Olympic Mountains Vanishing Seattle Music in Washington: Seattle and Beyond Crater Lake National Park The Oregon State Penitentiary Portland's Maritime History More History from the Pacific Northwest The Olympic Mountains rise up from the sea with moss-draped forests growing right to the water's edge. Glaciers crown steep slopes while alpine meadows and lush valleys teem with elk, deer, cougars, bears, and species known nowhere else on earth. Though Seattle is still a young city, growing and changing, much of its short past is already lost-but not forgotten. For more than 100 years, the Pacific Northwest has been making music history. In this new retrospective, rare photographs evoke the musical memories of days gone by. For more than half a million years, volcano Mount Mazama towered over southern Oregon. From time to time, it erupted, spreading pumice, ash, and cinders for miles around. As the only maximum-security prison in the state, the Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP) has housed some of the most violent criminals on the West Coast, including brutal serial killers Charley Panzram in 1915 and Jerry Brudos in 1969. Portland is not only the site of numerous marine terminals along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers but also home to much of our American maritime history.

This book has reignited my passion for reading. It reminded me of the sheer joy that can be found in losing oneself in the pages of a good story. I can't wait to explore more books now.

The world created in this book was unlike anything I've ever encountered. The author's imagination knows no bounds, and I was completely mesmerized by the fantastical setting.

The way the author handled complex emotions and relationships was remarkable. I felt deeply connected to the characters, and their growth throughout the story was both inspiring and moving.
