While working for Washington State Magazine, eleven journalists traveled throughout the region to interview farmers, chefs, wine tasters, mountain climbers, scientists, and more. The resulting stories highlight the Evergreen State's captivating people, industries, and history, describing influential programs, cities from Aberdeen to Zillah, and a wide variety of trends, research, and innovative solutions.
The writers introduce the people who keep the largest ferry system in the country running, examine the most deadly pathogen ever recorded, and reveal the secret ingredient that makes Cougar Gold cheese possible. They also cover creating the Cosmic Crisp, producing Skagit Valley tulips, how soil composition impacts the taste of wine, and the fickle business of growing cherries. Additional accounts chronicle art and the Makah canoe, significant architecture, the advent of Master Gardeners, a stash of Mount St. Helens ash, challenges related to ocean life, and much more. Featured pieces include favorites from Eric Apalategui, Pat Caraher, Brian Charles Clark, Adriana Janovich, Ken Olson, Rebecca Phillips, Eric Sorenson, Tim Steury, Hannalore Sudermann, Andrea Vogt, and Dave Wasson.
Gathered from thousands of pieces published in Washington State Magazine across two decades, The Evergreen Collection celebrates the state's vast diversity and the impressive accomplishments of those who call it home.

We have also included 4 pages for notes regarding your visit. Did you meet some interesting people you'd like to keep in touch with? Did you have lunch at a quaint little restaurant? Did you go to the theater or other interesting place. Most journals don't give you near enough room to make notes about things you want to remember from your trip.
Highlights
Prayers between me and Jesus is a book of reflection that was inspired by a pastor's sermon. We provide a place to note any prayer requests that have come from the congregation and notes from the sermon that inspired thoughts of things to be thankful for.
So, why would you put your prayers on paper? Aren't they just words between you and Jesus? Sure, they are, but the simple fact that you have recorded your prayers gives you an opportunity to see how the Lord has helped shape your life. Have you noticed how He has directed your life by reflecting on His answers to your prayers?
Oh, I guess you are so diligent in your prayers that you don't notice the ones He has told you to WAIT before He answers this specific prayer. He answers your prayers in his own timing . . . His timing isn't based around YOUR desires, but when He feels the time is right. You may record the prayer and find His answer delayed to fit His timing when other things are happening in your life. This is a time you would want to record the prayer and see how He directs your life with His answers.
The journal gives plenty of room to note items of special interest in your prayers. If these thoughts come to mind from the scriptures you have heard or were divinely put on your heart . . . go ahead and note them on these pages as well. There's room for 100 prayers here.
