True Tales of Puget Sound
True Tales of Puget Sound | Dorothy Wilhelm
1 post | 1 read
From the shores of Gig Harbor to the slopes of Mount Rainier, the towns surrounding Puget Sound all have incredible stories to share. How did Old Fort Nisqually, now perched on a lofty bluff above Tacoma, move twenty-two miles from its original 1843 site in DuPont? Did Eatonville's copper-infused paint inspire the phrase "painting the town red"? Read about the famed Pie Goddess of Enumclaw and about a cookbook compiled by Emma Smith DeVoe of Parkland that included helpful tips from suffragettes. Join author Dorothy Wilhelm, of the television show My Home Town, as she explores these beloved town tales and uncovers the rest of the story.

I grew up in California and have only lived here in western Washington since 2009, so I don‘t know a lot about the history of our adopted state. It was fun and interesting to read this book and to learn more about the people and events around Puget Sound. I now hope to visit some of these towns soon and see their historic sites in person. Five stars.
