Thanks KC, I didn't know about the MD one, and must have missed in the Barth novels I've read (all of which I loved except for Giles Goat-Boy). I wasn't much of a salmon fisherman, so have only been to the WA one a few times. Bremerton, where I mostly grew up was known affectionately as 'the thriving metropolis by the navy yard gate', but I never actually lived in the town.
