Everett Branch Open House with Author Tami Asars

The Everett Branch is excited to be hosting its first branch-wide event for 2025 on Monday, March 24th at a beautiful new location - the Edmonds Waterfront Center! Members and non-members alike are welcome and committee reps will be on hand to answer questions about Everett's outdoor programming. 

We are particularly thrilled to have Mountaineers Books author, Tami Asars, as our special guest to give a talk about her new guidebook - Hiking the Wonderland Trail (2nd edition) 

Hiking the Wonderland Trail is the authoritative guide to planning and enjoying the world-class trail that circumnavigates Washington’s Mount Rainier. Hikers who tackle this 93-mile route endure a strenuous 22,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. Fully revised and refreshed, this second edition offers the best, most up-to-date and thorough information available, whether you’re thru-hiking, section hiking, or exploring the adjacent Northern or Eastside Loop Trails. Washington native and professional hiking guide Tami Asars also now highlights a selection of short day hikes to encourage hikers to spend an extra night or two on the trail, while new sidebars written in her signature playful style, such as "Tami’s Wonderland Trail Camp Superlatives!" spotlight bonus information to enhance your adventure.

As one Wonderland Trail hiker notes, "If you have ever wanted to hike the WT in sections or as a complete loop, you need this book. . . . [Asars] describes in detail significant geological, botanical, and topographical formations and she interjects humor and historic insights throughout the text."
