Prepared in conjunction with the 129th annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, this compelling volume contains guides that geographically focus on the Seattle, Washington, area within the Puget lowland, and also includes descriptions of trips in the Cascade Range and the region east of the Cascades. Highlights of the guides include a journey through the region that was affected by an earthquake on the Seattle fault 1100 years ago, a trip to the coast to look at tsunami deposits, trips that show evidence of past glaciations that inundated the Puget lowland, and trips that highlight catastrophic flooding and blankets of wind-blown silt, both of which covered the area east of the Cascades due to continental glaciations. Multiple trips help unravel the complex but fascinating geological history of the Cascade Range.
