### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Superbly written and researched, a must-read for anyone in WA state
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2023*

Timothy Egan is a Seattle-area native who has also written about the PNW for the NY Times and highly acclaimed books, such as The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America and The Worst Hard Time (latter about life in the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression). He has won numerous top awards for his talent as a writer.But this is one that anyone who lives west of the Cascades in Washington truly must read. It is a history of the area but also of the people, the land, the culture and the heart of it all. This could be dry stuff, but he's a terrific storyteller, and his observations are insightful, incisive, interesting, and amusing. I cannot praise it highly enough.It was published in 1990, and I with he'd write another of the time since, but I doubt he will.The narrator of the audiobook version (not Egan) does a great job, too, so listen or read.

    A Downpour of Insights and Appreciation of the Pacific Northwest
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2015*

No writer knows the Pacific Northwest outdoors and its interplay with history like writer and New York Times columnists Timothy Egan. His accounts of the environment and especially the weather of the region are based on countless forays into the woods, along the rivers, and on the mountains with occasional stops in the cities. The Good Rain is one of Egan’s early volumes, written 25 years ago. Today the regional environment is more appreciated and protected even as it is more stressed and threatened. In this time of climate warming – currently with a severe drought in the Pacific Northwest – an appreciation of rain is even more pronounced and more prevalent.The subtitle here is “Across Time and Terrain in the Pacific Northwest,” and it is apt. Egan presents much of the region’s history as it pertains to the outdoors, and he expertly describes Native Americans’ relation to their surroundings and the disruptive, damaging projects of the European and American settlers. Egan gives special notice to the region’s rivers. But there’s no stern harangue about plundering of outdoor treasures. His account of restoring the Willamette River in Oregon reveals the light touch his writing takes. He tells the impact of Oregon’s governor Tom McCall in the late 1960s who was determined to clean up the river. “Under McCall, a zealot with a droll sense of humor and an unshakable sense of destiny, the Willamette was treated like the main artery of the Pope.” And McCall was successful with a vastly cleaner river in the 1970s. Yet the grand Columbia River takes most of Egan’s interest, and everyone in the region should read his tales across time about it.Michael Helquist, MARIE EQUI: Radical Politics and Outlaw Passions
