Portland, Seattle, And The Glorious -- Sometimes 'Weird' -- Pacific Northwest

Places I Remember with Lea Lane

Send us a Text Message.

Marie Sutro, who sets her newest crime thriller, Dark Obsession, in the Pacific Northwest, loves the beauty and creativity of Oregon and Washington State. She shares info and memories of the best -- from Portland to Seattle, and all around the spectacular region.
We begin the episode talking of Portland and environs, including its creative "weirdness": the Oregon Coast and inland Oregon, including the Dunes; charming, artsy Ashland; Crater Lake, the bluest, deepest lake in the world, and the historic Gold Rush Towns.
In Washington State, we discuss Seattle and nearby beauty spots including Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula.

And we end with Lea's and Marie's two special memories of the PNW -- each very different.
