On Jun 8 2006, Bibliophile said:
This book is really fun. If you are a traveler or Washington State afficionado this is the book for you. Who named what and why. 7000 entries covering every place name in Washington State. Did you know that Dyes Inlet is an inlet connected with Port Orchard Bay by Washington Narrows? The indian name was Squh-Buck. In 1841 it had the dubious distinction of being renamed by the Wilkes Expedition after John W Dyes the Vincennes's ship assistant taxidermist. Then there is the more aptly named Kalaloch, a small sheltered beach on the Pacific Ocean. Kalaloch is the Quinault name for good place to land. The area is the only safe landing for canoes between the Hoh and Queets rivers. Published by the Washington Historical Society this is a definitive work on the place names of the great State of Washington. Hours of entertainment or a great sidekick for any trip through Washington.
