Washington is a wonderful state. Moving to Washington can be an exciting move for anyone. Washington entered the Union on Nov. 11, 1889, as the 42nd state. Formerly known primarily for its agricultural and forestry products, Washington had, by the early 1990s, a highly diversified economy. Although the state remained a leading national producer of such products as apples, wheat, and timber, manufacturing had become a leading sector of the economy. Tourism and other services were also important. The state is named for George Washington. Washington is called the Evergreen State.

Washington, with an area of 71,303 sq mi, is the 18th largest state in the U.S. The elevations range from sea level to 14,410 ft stop Mt. Rainer. Washington’s coastline on the Pacific Ocean is 157 miles long. The areas vary from the Pacific coast region, the Puget Trough, the Cascade Mountain range, and the Columbia Plateau. The Columbia River is the largest river in the western U.S., drains the eastern section of Washington. The principal tributaries are the Snake R, the Spokane R, the Wenatchee, and the Yakima Rivers.

Washington’s climate varies greatly from west to east. A mild, humid climate predominates in the western part of the state, and a cooler dry climate prevails east of the Cascade Range. The average annual temperature ranges from 40-51 degrees. A wet marine West Coast climate predominates in western Washington and is mild for its latitude due to the presence of warm North Pacific Current offshore and the relatively warm maritime air masses. The region has frequent cloud cover, considerable fog, and long-lasting drizzles, with summer the sunniest season. The western slopes of the Cascade Range receive some of the heaviest annual snowfall in the country.
