Summary: Great resource!
Comment: My wife and I are new to the area and wanted to start hiking. The book was a great resource. It has a ton of great hikes with really good directions on how to get there. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Best Hiking Book for the Area
Comment: This book is by far the best of the bunch. It offers a concise overview, turn by turn directions and the best maps.
One of the issues with other books is the maps look more like a bad b&w copy of a USGS topo map. Not this book!
The maps in this book show the general area and most other trails in the area. Plus it highlights the exact route mentioned in the book. While this may seem basic, some other local books simply show the trails or have a topo like map without the trails highlighted.
Its critical to have good maps as many local trail systems have confusing interconnecting routes.
The other major bonus of this book is that it is really up-to-date and keeps to routes most folks can enjoy. Plus it gives honest comments about crowding and parking.
I have taken seven hikes in this book this year and have enjoy each of them.
This book is MUCH better than the Day Hike! series.

Summary: Descriptions, Directions and More
Comment: This book does a great job of describing so many of the wonderful hikes the greater Seattle area has to offer, rating them for difficulty and scenery and giving useful hints and directions.
We took our nine year old on several of the hikes and it was nice to know which ones would be most difficult and to tell him what to expect on the hike.

Summary: Great book for hikkers
Comment: I just started hiking this year and so i wanted a guide that would help me.
This is the one i chose. It gave me exact directions, difficulty level, hike conditions, best season to go , whether fees are applied, whether kids or dogs can be taken, what to see, what all to take along, time for a round trip, how many miles to walk etc.
I think that was the sufficient information for us. We have taken many of them and had a wonderful time in seattle.
Give it a try, its a good reference book.

Summary: Good depending on what you're looking for
Comment: This is a great book for natives of the region who are into intense, strenuous hikes. I however, am more of a novice hiker and found only a few hikes in here that were of my skill level. There aren't too many hikes to pick from if all you want is an afternoon hike along the water or an easy day trip with the kids.
