In this jam-packed paperback, Johnston, 62, who now lives in Kirkland, is intent on motivating you to get out there.
He describes more than 40 hikes for all energy levels, from Willapa Bay to Neah Bay; trips to nine state parks and Olympic National Park; visits to 30 campgrounds; and tips on fishing, clamming, beachcombing and tidepooling spots.

Book discussion
SEQUIM — Elly Griffiths’ The Crossing Places will be discussed at the Sequim Library at 3 p.m. Saturday.
All are welcome to drop in and participate.
The library is located at 630 N. Sequim Ave.
According to a news release: “Forensic archeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway lives happily alone with her two cats in a bleak, remote area near Norfolk, a land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants — not quite earth, not quite sea.
“But her routine days of digging up artifacts and other ancient objects are harshly upended when a child’s bones found on a desolate beach are bizarrely linked to a case involving a disturbed letter-writer and missing child.”
Copies of The Crossing Places are available at the library in various formats, including regular print and audiobook on CD.
They can be requested online by visiting the library catalog at www.nols.org.
For more information, visit www.nols.org or phone 360-683-1161.
