Northwest, Pacific -- In literature Here in Geoduck Junction: Finding a Home Among the Migrants, Mavericks, and Mutants of the Pacific Northwest. 
 Author Tom Robbins received Bumbershoot's 1997 Golden Umbrella Award for "lifetime achievement in the arts." The text of his acceptance speech was published in the Seattle Weekly's May 4-10, 2000, issue. Read it to discover how "this neck of the woods, this damp neck with its necklace of glacier ice and Blue Moon neon, with its subtle perfume of salt marsh and espresso steam" provided Robbins with inspiration and material. http://www.seattleweekly.com/2000-05-03/news/here-in-geoduck-junction.php Topics: Authors by Region: United States Last updated Feb 17, 2007 Northwest by Northwest: Nonfiction
