Okay, given the area covered, but has defects
I was researching Skyline to the Sea. REI had no other maps in stock, so I grabbed this and its adjacent map. This map is quite difficult to read. *Usually* the detail is there, but it's not always presented in an accessible way. "Cluttered" would not be a bad description. To give it credit, they did manage to come up with a way to make it work (i.e. abbreviating trail names in as usually intuitive letters), but it can still be a handful. I noticed that some of the abbreviations created were not actually used on the map as the trail segment in question was unlabeled. (Perhaps it was too short but the abbreviation had been generated anyway?) Trying to figure out where a particular closure was required using an alternate map. I'll keep the map because ultimately I'll hike in many of the areas depicted, but it wouldn't be my first choice. (As an example. Borrowing a copy of the Windy Hill map from the preserve is a much clearer alternative.)
