Living in eastern WA near the stateline with Oregon we have the opportunity to see these on an almost daily basis when the prevailing westerlies are strong. Our own little Rattlesnake Mtn. (3,500 feet) is also a prolific creator of lenticular clouds. As expected the little wave clouds are much closer to Rattlesnake than the big ones to the Cascades (difference in wavelength). At times you can see successive, smaller clouds at each wave crest farther from the mountains.
