Weird I know we have them, I have been there many times, I have just never heard them called the Scablands before.

You won’t know the snow until your go. Storms can happen anytime during this time period.

I wouldn’t consider the Palouse scablands I would say the area more west and north of there

Ah, fair point. Probably why I wasn’t able to find anything conclusive. Was just curious if historically that area was just as susceptible to snowfall as the more snowy Washington regions/had a different climate.

And yeah, I have no idea if that’s at all a proper way to refer to them. I think I just clung onto the part of the name that stuck with me haha.

I’ve lived in the Seattle area all my life and I’ve always heard them called the scablands or channelled scablands.

What did you want to do there? That will probably help you focus on an area.

Was planning a photography project with some friends! The landscape totally fits with what we’re looking to capture but snow would take away from that.
