Have you read Folly by Laurie King?

@Ellen no!

It’s a good one and set in the area. Did you read Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford? Firefly Lane by Kristen Hannah? The Boys in the Boat by Daniel Brown? I haven’t read them all but the JP Beaumont series by JA Jance is set in Seattle. I live in the area too and have read books set in this area. Kristen Hannah, Jamie Ford, Garth Stein, Jim Lynch to name a few have written about this area. One of my favorites is Kathleen Flinn. She writes about cooking (I am not a great cook, haha) but also includes stories about the area and people that live there. The Kitchen Counter Cooking School was one of my favorites by her. Just heard about another book, Blackberry Winter by Sarah Jio. I added that one to my TBR list.
Would love some suggestions from you too!

@Ellen all great suggetions. Some I’ve read. If you like post-apocalyptic give the series of 3 novels by MP McDonald a try. They were all set in this area.
