This map isn't part of any series, but we have other Washington maps that you might want to check out.
Thousands of boats? Mile-long railroads on docks? What the hell is going on, Olympia, Washington [gmap], and why does it look so completely awesome?
Also on the map, in the lower right, and kind of hard to make out, is the first vegan fair-trade paper-making store to be opened in the United States.
