I went on a trip to Alaska and Washington State. I bought a lonely planet guide to Alaska and the Frommer guide for Washington.
Personally I preferred the lonely planet guide. The Frommer guide has more on accommodation and dining and is probably OK for the middle of the road car traveller. The lonely planet guide was a better guide for adventurous trips as it gave a much better impression of what was really worth doing, plus had more detail on the real gems. It also has a much clearer print.

Very Useful Guide -- Enhanced Our Trip!
24 April 2001
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is a Gem! We found it highly informative, accurate, and useful on our recent trip to Seattle and Ocean Shores, Washington. The book provides the essentials without being too wordy. Interesting tidbits galore! One example of the book's usefulness was a recommendation to dine at Ocean Crest Resort in Moclips because "you won't find a more spectacular view anywhere on the Washington coast." Well, from the outside, this Resort is nothing special. In fact, were it not for the book, we never would have thought of stopping there. But are we glad. What a view! Dense trees, framing an ocean view, with a winding wooden staircase leading in erratic zig zags down to the beach below. It was worth the cost of the book! ....

Frommer's Washington State
3 May 2000
By Catherine
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found this to be an excellent user friendly, tradtional tourist guide book. However, it was published in 1998 and would be better if updated. It offers "The best of" in more than a dozen categories such as restaurants, B&Bs, hikes, etc which gives good starting points for trip planning. Phone numbers and web site address are available to obtain more detailed information on areas of interest. A map of "Washington State Driving Times " was very helful since we have found that in unfamiliar locations, driving times are sometimes easy to misfigure based only on milage.
Like other Frommer's guide books that I have used, I find this type of advice the best because it lists good choices from expensive to budget. For an average family tourist, this book is an excellent general guide.

OK for the high end traveler

We only cracked this book open for comparisons to the Moon book and found Frommers lacking. Frommers had very few suggestions if any in the smaller towns for lodging and eating. Carried info only on the expensive restaurants and lodging :(
