What sub region would you want to live in?


By: http://yachtpals.com/node/394

Out of all the 7 regions I would wanna live in the Coastal Region. I would wanna live there because they have high mountains called the Olympics, and they are 8,000 feet high. Another thing is they have two rivers the Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor and it would be fun to swimming and fishing in them over the summer. Also whats great about this region is, is that there is two main climates. One of them is were it can get really snowy and rainy and the other it can get mild and not too hot and I do not like to get too hot. Another great thing about this region is they have rain forest's, and in rain forest's they have pretty flowers and alot of animals. So all together I think the Coastal Region would be the best because of the nice rivers, mountains, and it would never get too hot.

The Rain Shadow Of Washington State

By: http://scienceinmyfiction.com/2010/04/23/worldbuilding-with-real-worlds/
To start off the rain shadow has a few main parts. First, the rain shadow starts when water gets evaporated, then goes up the windward part of a mountain. After it rains on that side, whatever is left goes down the leeward side of the mountain and this happens over and over again. But the main thing about the rain shadow is how it affects are economy. On the windward side of the mountains is were most of the high jobs are like fishing for like food, growing food and animal life because of the rain and forests. On the leeward side of the mountain is were most of the factory's, and other things that don't rely on much water because that side doesn't get as much rain to make food or other things we need. So each both of the sides has a huge part in how are state works. From weather pages.com it states how the rain shadow effects us and how it helps us. So in the end the rain shadow can us in many ways.

Glaciers That Altered Washington State


 What I think was the most important part of Washington’s geography was during the Ice Age. Its when thousands of feet of sheets of ice and glaciers were all over the world and moving and creating U shaped lakes. The glaciers from the Ice Age where moved by wind, ice, water, weathering. It was all called glaciations, and during all of this the three major glaciers where made. They were the Puget Lobe, Okanogan Lobe, and Polson Lobe. The Puget Lobe was created around the Puget Sound. The Okanogan Lobe came from the center of Washington and blocked the Columbia River. While it blocked the Columbia river and made Dry Falls, Lake Chelan, and Grand Coulee. The Polson Lobe blocked Clark Fork and the nickname for it was scablands. Because of how the glaciers made the lake with a lot of little lands around it. Also the Palouse Hills where made by the glaciers during the Ice Age and you can see them in Spokane and Pullman. Another one was the Alpine Glaciations and they are found around Mount Rainier is. So in conclusion, heres a few places that we see now that where made during the Ice Age when we had thousands of glaciers.
