description: The Cascade Mountains - after which the region is named - run north from California to southern Canada and include two of the fastest-growing cities of North Seattle - in the United States - and Vancouver, British Columbia - on the Canadian side of the border. The views from either city are of mountains, snow-covered volcanic peaks, forests, and oceans. In the midst of these jewel-like settings are two vibrant cultural hubs, home to full-time symphonies, opera, ballet, and independent film companies - as well as flourishing youth cultures.Photographer Morton Beebe leads us on a tour through the region, showing us the magnificence and variety of both the natural and urban worlds. He explores numerous intriguing corners of Cascadia to reveal the much-coveted life-style of the Pacific Northwest, which may become the future power center of the continent.Beebe's stunning images meet their match in texts written by eight well-known regional writers who provide local history and insiders' folklore.
