Moon Washington Travel Guide Now Available
I'm happy to announce the availability of the eighth edition of Moon Washington at all major booksellers. After a two-week trip to the Evergreen State to conduct a little research for the ninth edition (it never ends, I tell ya), I was pleasantly surprised with a box of books on my doorstep when I returned home.
Paging through the crisp pages of the latest book, I have to say that I'm proud of my work on this new edition. I think loyal Moon readers will find the updates informative, funny and the perfect complement to a long road-trip or many short excursions around the state.
Thanks again to the Moon staff for helping me put out such a great looking final product. And many thanks to my husband, Paul, without whom this book would never be possible. He spent countless hours helping me fact check, edit and write sections of the book.
