The Rainshadow Effect of Washington State Economy

I sited this picture at atmos.washington.edu


The Rainshadow has influenced Washington State because it gave us vegetation and a desert.
Another reason it influenced Washington is that the climate changes because of thew Rain shadow. The temperature rises and lowers. It also influenced us because it gave us a verity of weather. Another reason why it influenced us because it gave us a westward and leeward side. I got all this information from  a textbook Washington: a state of contrast. The other source I got the information from page 29 in the textbook.
