Washington advertises itself as the forest-clad Evergreen State. Actually, vast eastern portions of it are reclaimed from sagebrush desert by irrigation. The Cascade Range is a weather barrier that confines most of the rain to the Puget Sound area, which is a world of green.
Other parts of the state boast outstanding attractions: hundreds of lakes, parklike pine woods, Grand Coulee Dam, the Columbia River with one-day to week-long cruises, the wine region of the southeast, and Mount St. Helens. But the main magnet for visitors is the Puget Sound area.
