Washington State
Located in the Pacific Northwest, it is bordered by the Canadian province of British Columbia on the North, and Idaho on the drier East side. The Columbia River marks much of the boundary with Oregon on the South, and the Pacific Ocean on the West. Clark County also shares this Columbia River border. The City of Portland Oregon is located directly south across the river from Clark Counties City of Vancouver, both cities are often referred to as the " Portland Vancouver metro area". The climate East of the Cascade Mountains is much drier than is Western Washington. Much of the land is used for dry farming. Irrigation has converted many of the river valleys east of the Cascades (especially the Yakima Valley and the Wenatchee Valley) into garden areas. This region contains most of Washington's vineyards; from the 1980s the state has developed an important wine industry. Washington leads the country in the production of apples, sweet cherries, and pears and is a major wheat producer, chiefly in the hilly Palouse area of southeastern Washington.
