The state is divided by the Cascade range. The west side is wetter than the east side. The Olympic Península is lush and green. I have lived here 67 years and yes we are in a cycle of drier, warmer weather but compared to Texas it might be very pleasant. The Puget Sound basin is heavy on crime, drugs and gang violence with horrible traffic and very high housing/rental prices. Progressive left wing policies. It is a Democratic one party state. The east side and rural areas are more right leaning.

Thank you for this information. I'm in the industrial marine industry so I would need to be near a port. I have been looking at the west side but have become discouraged. I just desperately want out of this heat and nonstop blazing sun.
