Are you tired of cliché-ridden guidebooks packed with promotional fluff? Then move over to the IRREVERENT GUIDES–the travel series that no tourist board would dare to recommend.

Look inside for the lowdown on:

• Hotels that make you glad it rains all the time
• What Seattle envies about Portland, and why Portland wishes it could be more like its northern neighbor
• Must-see places like the Portland grade school that serves excellent pizza and beer, and the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat
• Where to rub elbows with Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and their minions of Microsoft millionaires
• How to dress down to fit in with the "Aggresively Plain" Northwest fashion scene
• And much more!
