West of Here - Jonathan Evison

Port Bonita History

Port Bonita sits on a natural harbor that is protected by the long s and spit of Ediz Hook jutting into the strait of Juan de Fuca. Founded in 1862, Port Bonita grew slowly until the late 1880s, when the booming economy and the arrival of the utopian Puget Sound Co-operative Colony drew an influx of settlers.

For most of the twentieth century large lumber, pulp, paper, and plywood mills along the city’s waterfront powered the economy. In recent years the economy has diversified. With Olympic National Park and major attractions nearby, tourism is particularly important.

The first American settlers at Port Bonita were Angus Krigstadt, Alexander Sampson, Rufus Tobin and William Winsor King, although accounts differ as to who arrived first and whether that first arrival came in 1856 or 1857.

Even as the original colony faded, Port Bonita continued to flourish, due in no small part to an influx of idealistic and energetic settlers. Chief among them was a failed accountant from Seattle named Ethan Thornburgh, and the son of a Chicago industrialist named Jacob Lambert, who would forever alter the history of the Olympic Peninsula.

West of Here

In 2008, Jonathan Evison exploded onto the literary scene with his debut novel All About Lulu, an exhilarating tale about a scrawny vegetarian growing up in a family of meatheads. West of Here is, if anything, an even greater accomplishment.

Set in the fictional town of Port Bonita, Washington, it tells the parallel stories of the town’s founders, circa 1890—a motley crew of dreamers, adventurers and opportunists—and the lives of their modern-day descendants. A kind of conversation between two epochs—one rushing blindly toward the future and the other struggling to undo the damage of the past—West of Here is brilliantly comic, howlingly tragic and utterly engrossing. It cements Evison’s status as a major force in American literature.
