Seafloors forced high into the sky. Fossils of a long-extinct, 385-pound flightless bird that roamed subtropical floodplains. From the crest of the Cascades to the Pacific, and from the Columbia River north to the Canadian border, the ghosts of deep time are widely exposed in western Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut geology never really dies. It is very much active and alive in the region: volcanoes periodically erupt, showering their surroundings with ash; earthquakes shake Earth's surface and the constructions of humans, sending tsunamis ashore to wreak havoc; and melting alpine glaciers send forth great floods of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGeology Underfoot in Western Washington\u003c\/i\u003e, the most recent addition to the Geology Underfoot series, author and geoscientist Dave Tucker narrates western Washington's geologic tales, covering sites from its low-lying shorelines to its rugged mountaintops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book's 22 chapters, or vignettes, lead you to easily accessible stops along Washington's highways and some trails, too.
