Washington

Washington State's topography is characterized by dramatic contrasts, shaped primarily by the formidable Cascade Mountain Range that divides the state into distinct western and eastern regions. The western part is marked by rugged mountains, lush forests, and a plethora of lakes, resulting from glacial activity. Here, Mount Rainier, standing at 14,410 feet, is the state's highest peak, surrounded by temperate rainforests that receive abundant rainfall, especially on the windward slopes. In contrast, Eastern Washington features a much drier landscape, with semi-arid conditions and rolling hills forming part of the Columbia Plateau, where annual precipitation can drop to as low as 6 inches. This stark difference in climate and geography, influenced by the rain shadow effect of the Cascades, gives rise to diverse ecosystems and agricultural regions, including fertile plains ideal for farming.
