The photos and stories collected here are a fast and fun way to learn the expla- nations behind the quirks, the traditions and the secrets that make Washington uniquely Washington. Where did Lou Gossett Jr. give Richard Gere an attitude ad- justment in An Officer and a Gentleman?" Solved. Where is America's last surviving pesthouse? A mystery no more. Where is the last Japanese-style public bathhouse in North America? Identified. What did Teddy Roosevelt do for Washington on his last day in office as President? Revealed. How did Pullman score Washington State University over Yakima? No one knows.
Imagine a group of settlers arriving in an undeveloped location. First come shelters in which to live and then structures in which to work and shop. There are buildings for worship and education. As the community grows government buildings are re- quired. With prosperity comes places in which to spend leisure time. And each step along the way builds a story only Washington can call its own. A story told in 100 buildings. Almost all of the selections within are open to the public, or at least visible from public spaces. So, if you haven't seen these landmarks in person, fire up your GPS and get out and see the story of the Evergreen State standing in plain sight on Washington streets!
