5-0 out of 5 stars Taking a tour of Washington, the Evergreen State
The first thing Christine Webster does in Introducing the Evergreen State, in Chapter One of this From Sea to Shining Sea, Second Series volume, is to point out that Washington is the only state in the Pacific Northwest that has both a rain forest and a desert.But the nickname still rings true because more than half the state is covered in forests.Having checked out Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula the last time I visited Washington that seems to be something of an understatement.When Webster asks the standard question in the first chapter as to what comes to mind when you think of the state of Washington, most young students should be able to recognize the Space Needle, Mount St. Helens and Microsoft.The Grand Coulee Dam, Walla Walla's sweet onions, and the Orcas swimming off the coast of the San Juan Islands might be new information.But the point of these books is to fill in the gaps and increase your knowledge about the 50 states (plus Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.).

Chapter Two, The Land of Washington, is devoted to the diverse geography of this state in the northwest corner of the continental United States.Webster lays out the five land regions: the Coastal Range, the Puget Sound Lowlands, the Cascade Mountains, the Columbia Plateau, and the Rocky Mountains.Sections are also devoted to the plants and wildlife, the rivers and lakes, and the climate, which varies depending on what side of the Cascade Range you end up.Chapter Three, Washington Through History, starts off continuing the dual focus on the coastal Native Americans and the plateau or inland Native Americans who settled the area.This is followed by the European explorers who began arriving in the late 1700s and the Americans who populated the Oregon Territory in the middle of the 1800s (the Oregon Territory made up what are now the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming).In 1953 the Oregon territory was divided into Washington and Oregon, and Washington begins to have its own identity.Statehood comes in 1889, and Webster describes the new state as a land of plenty.Sections covering the 20th century touch on World War I and the Great Depression, the importance of the Boeing plant in Seattle during World War II, and Modern Washington, which covers both the World's Far of 1962 and the eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Chapter Four, Governing Washington, starts off with a brief description of the three branches of government (there actually are some interesting distinctions between some states on these, but it is usually in terms of the court systems), and then we go on a tour of Olympia, the state capital.The map of downtown Olympia highlights mostly government buildings like the Governor's Mansion and Temple of Justice, but there are also a couple of museums with the Washington State Capitol Museum and the Hands-On Children's Museum.Chapter Five, The People and Places of Washington, which looks at who lives where and what they do for work (manufacturing and food processing are the top two industries).You should not be surprised that the recipe for the state involves apples, but Funny Face Caramel Apples might be a surprise.The rest of the final chapter is a tour of the Evergreen State, starting in the east with the Grand Coulee Dam, moving on to the Yakama Nation Cultural Center and other things worth seeing in the central part, then getting to everything in and around Seattle (including a photograph that reminds Mariners fans that Ken Griffey, Jr., Alex Rodriguez, and Edgar Martinez no longer play for the team), and then Olympic National Park and the Orcas.

Webster provides even more information in the back of the book, starting with a Washington Almanac, which is two pages of statistics, product lists, and state symbols.This is followed by a Timeline with Washington state history above and U.S. history below, a Gallery of Famous Washingtonians that brings John Elway and Dixie Lee Ray together with Bing Crosby and Gary Larson.Young readers will also find a Glossary of key terms such as "conservation" and "perpendicular," and a page of web sites, books, and addresses that students can turn to For More Information.Throughout the book there are also informative sidebars devoted to Extra! Extra! tidbits (e.g., the Pig War), Who's Who in Washington (e.g., Chief Seattle, Bill Gates), Famous First (e.g, first U.S. jet), and explaining What's in a Name? (e.g., Walla Walla is a Native American word meaning "place of many water").

Consequently, students assigned to do a report on the state of Washington should find plenty of information here, or at least know what to go researching on the Internet, which is where I suppose the end up these days.Anyhow, here we are in Washington, the last of the 48-continental states that we have visited on our tour From Sea to Shining Sea.We started off in Maine in the northeast corner and are now in the northwest corner, and we have gotten here by going from state to state without doubling our tracks on this route (yes, this was carefully worked out before we moved from Maine to New Hampshire, not that you have any other option at that point, but you get the idea).However, now we have to pass through another country as we keeping heading north to get to our next stop Alaska, and then we get to cross the Pacific to end the tour. ...

Chapters: Hanford Site. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 97. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Hanford Site is a mostly decommissioned nuclear production complex on the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington, operated by the United States federal government. The site has been known by many names, including Hanford Works, Hanford Engineer Works, Hanford Nuclear Reservation or HNR, and the Hanford Project. Established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project in the town of Hanford in south-central Washington, the site was home to the B Reactor, the first full-scale plutonium production reactor in the world. Plutonium manufactured at the site was used in the first nuclear bomb, tested at the Trinity site, and in Fat Man, the bomb detonated over Nagasaki, Japan. During the Cold War, the project was expanded to include nine nuclear reactors and five large plutonium processing complexes, which produced plutonium for most of the 60,000 weapons in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Nuclear technology developed rapidly during this period, and Hanford scientists produced many notable technological achievements. Many of the early safety procedures and waste disposal practices were inadequate, and government documents have since confirmed that Hanford's operations released significant amounts of radioactive materials into the air and the Columbia River, which threatened the health of residents and ecosystems. The weapons production reactors were decommissioned at the end of the Cold War, but the manufacturing process left behind 53 million U.S. gallons (204,000 m³) of high-level radioactive waste that remains at the site. This represents two-thirds of the nation's high-level radioactive waste by volume. Today, Hanford is the most contaminated nuclear site in the United States and is the focus...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=39038 ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Washington, D.C., US, is located at (the coordinates of the Zero Milestone, on the Ellipse). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a geographical area of 68.3 square miles (176.9 km), 61.4 square miles (159.0 km) of which is land, and the remaining 6.9 square miles (17.9 km) (10.16%) of which is water. Washington is surrounded by the states of Virginia (on its southwest side) and Maryland (on its southeast, northeast, and northwest sides); it interrupts those states' common border, which is the south shore of the Potomac River both upstream and downstream from the District. The portion of the Potomac River that passes Washington is virtually entirely within the District's border, as the District extends to the south bank. The city contains the historic "federal city", the territory of which was formerly part of those two adjacent states before they respectively ceded it for the national capital. The land ceded from Virginia was returned by Congress in 1847, so what remains of the modern District was all once part of Maryland. Washington, D.C. from spaceThe topography of the District of Columbia is very similar to the physical geography of much of Maryland. The District has three major natural flowing bodies of water: the Potomac River and two tributaries, the Anacostia River and Rock Creek. The confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia forms the historic peninsula known as Arsenal Point. The District also includes the Washington Channel, which flows into the junction of the Anacostia and Potomac rivers. There are also three man-made reservoirs: Dalecarlia Reservoir, which crosses over the northwest border of the District from Maryland, McMillan Reservoir near Howard Universi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1979243 ...

Excerpt: Yawgoog Scout Reservation (Camp Yawgoog) is a 1,800-acre (7 km) reservation for Scouting located in Rockville, Rhode Island and operated by the Narragansett Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Founded in 1916, Yawgoog is the fourth oldest continuously run Scout camp in the United States. It runs an eight-week summer camping program every summer where Boy Scouts stay for a week with their troops. The Reservation is divided into three camps: Camps Three Point, Medicine Bow, and Sandy Beach. Generally each camp offers the same programs and experiences. The main entrance to Camp Yawgoog The Kelley Environmental Education CenterIn 1916 Scout Executive Donald North, after inspecting some twenty lakes in Rhode Island, recommended the deserted Joseph Palmer farm property on Yawgoog Pond as a permanent reservation for Scouting. The 150-acre (0.6 km) piece was leased to Rhode Island Boy Scouts (RIBS) in 1916 and purchased in 1917. Yawgoog and Wincheck, according to local tradition, were the names of two Narragansett Indian Chiefs. The water rights to the pond, all of their equipment, fourteen mill houses, a store, and approximately 200-acre (1 km) of unimproved land were obtained in 1953 when the Boy Scouts purchased a controlling interest in the Yawgo Line and Twine Company.
