Eastern Washington vs Western Washington

The differences are that the west side of Washington get more rain than the east side because of the rain shadow of the Cascades. Another difference is that the east side is the only place where you will find farms because the west side gets too much rain. Another difference is that the west side has bigger and badder forests becasue of all the rain and the east side dosent get all that rain because of the rain shadow. You can only find dry land farms in the east side because the west side gets so much rain and dry land farms would not be able to grow because of that.
