Washington State

Growing up in Washington State makes it my favorite state for sure. I think it is the most beautiful place in the world especially when the sun is out.  There are two parts of the state western and eastern; they are much different from each other.

Most of the population is in the western part of the state where Seattle happens to be. Going north from Seattle to the Canadian border makes up a lot of the population in Western Washington.  It takes about an hour and half to get to the border. It is a lovely drive as well, seeing a lot of trees and water. Tacoma is south of Seattle, and takes about forty-five minutes to drive depending on the traffic. Driving south from Tacoma to the Oregon border takes about two hours. Much the scenery going that direction is a lot like driving north of Seattle.  Most of the Western Washington it takes two hours to drive including Mt. Rainier, and the Washington Coast. There are many places get to by ferry including the San Juan Islands. Most people realize that it rains a lot in Washington, however, it mainly applies to Western Washington; it is the main reason the grass is green and healthy trees.

Eastern Washington takes about three hours get to. Most of that part of state is drier, and doesn't rain as much. It is uses a lot for agriculture, and grows apples which exports more than any other states. During the summer it is usually ten degrees warmer than Western Washington and ten degrees cooler in the winter.

Besides Gig Harbor I look forward to write more about other cities in Washington.
