Nvr spent any time in Washington, I hear it is wet , a lot,, and green.. Had relatives there along time ago , loggers,, they probably hang loggers now, ;-)
PS Send some rain South to your poor dry cousin, Kaliforniyaa.
I live in Washington State — we have had three inches of rain thus far this year. That isn’t much and nothing is green unless irrigated. Maybe another inch and a half of rain in the remainder of the year.
