Family vacations involved camping in the shadow of Mount Rainier or exploring the very dark, probably haunted tunnels of Port Townsend's old forts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAllison received her bachelor's degree in biology and English from Duke University, with studies at Oxford University and an ethnobiology field school in Costa Rica. She worked as a writer and editor in New York City for eight years, including staff positions at \u003ci\u003eMetro\u003c\/i\u003e newspaper and \u003ci\u003eTime Out New York\u003c\/i\u003e. When the lure of the Northwest's mountains, drizzle, and summer berry harvests became impossible to ignore, she relocated to Seattle. She has since realized two lifelong dreams: summiting Mount Rainier and poking sticks into the campfire without being disciplined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAllison earned her MFA in creative writing at the University of Alaska Anchorage, where her fiction thesis won the Jason Wenger Award for Literary Excellence. Her journalistic work has been recognized with awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and a nomination from the City and Regional Magazine Association. As senior editor at \u003ci\u003eSeattle Met\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, she covers travel and the outdoors by hiking every trail and driving every road she can find on a map.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768458543392,"sku":"9781640494503","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1a847659e3653454a04c51a292500256.webp?v=1780330219","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/moon-pacific-northwest-road-trip-seattle-vancouver-victoria-the-olympic-peninsula-portland-the-oregon-coast-mount-rainier-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
