All About Washington

Washington is a constituent state of the United States of America. Lying at the northwest corner of the 48 coterminous states, it is bounded by the Canadian province of British Columbia on the north, Idaho on the east, Oregon on the south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. It has an area of 68,139 square miles (176,479 square kilometres). The capital is Olympia. The state's coastal location and excellent harbours give it a leading role in trade with Alaska, Canada, and countries of the Pacific Rim. Washington cities have sister cities in several countries, and their professional and trade associations commonly include Canadian members.

The terrain and climate of Washington divide the state into a rainy western third and a drier eastern two-thirds in the rain shadow of the Cascade Range. Western Washington industries depend on agriculture, forests, and fisheries and imported raw materials, whereas eastern Washington is mainly agricultural, producing wheat, irrigated crops, and livestock. Most of the people live in the metropolitan areas of Seattle–Everett and Tacoma and other cities along Puget Sound.

Washington has seven physiographic regions. In the northwest the Olympic Peninsula borders the Pacific Ocean south of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Dense rain forests extend along the western slopes of the rugged Olympic Mountains, which rise to 7,965 feet (2,428 metres) on Mount Olympus. The Willapa Hills parallel the coast from Grays Harbor to the Columbia River in the southwest. Gentle, forested slopes descend to an indented Pacific coastline and to the Chehalis and Cowlitz valleys on the north and east.

The Puget Sound Lowland stretches southward from Canada between the Olympic Mountains and the Cascade Range to join the Chehalis and Cowlitz valleys, which form an extension to the Columbia River. Deep waters and fine harbours in Puget Sound, together with relatively flat terrain along its shores, favour the densest population and greatest commercial development in the state. The Cascade Range, east of the Puget Sound Lowland, has the state's highest elevations. Its chain of volcanic peaks includes 14,410-foot (4,392-metre) Mount Rainier, the fifth highest peak in the coterminous United States. Mount St. Helens, located in the Cascades near the Oregon border, erupted violently in 1980. The highest peaks have permanent glaciers.

Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries have been major contributors to the state's economy since early settlement by Europeans. The rapid increase in manufacturing and services that began in the 1940s led to concentration of the population in urban areas. Nearly one-fifth of the nonagricultural labour force is employed in manufacturing; another one-fifth works for state or federal government agencies.

Tourism has become a major source of income in Washington. The variety of scenic areas, including three national parks, draws increasing numbers of visitors to the state. Boating, hiking, skiing, sports events, and local festivals are other major tourist attractions. The annual Seattle Seafair features parades, boat races, and water carnivals. Water sports are popular on many lakes and rivers and especially on Puget Sound. Skiing is a favourite winter sport in the Cascades and Okanogan Highlands. Public forestlands, three national parks, and more than 125 state parks attract campers during the summer months.

Harbours on Puget Sound and the outer coast afford year-round access to world ocean routes, and a state ferry system serves the San Juan Islands and Canada's Vancouver Island. Navigation locks allow boats to pass between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, at Seattle. Barges carry grain and raw materials along the Columbia–Snake route. Airlines link the state's cities with one another and with transcontinental and world air routes. The Seattle–Tacoma Airport ranks among the leading U.S. airports in international passenger travel. The state has a well-developed system of highways and interstate freeways. Pontoon bridges span Hood Canal on the Olympic Peninsula and Lake Washington at Seattle. Railways crisscross the state but rank behind trucks in freight transport. Pipelines move oil and natural gas from out-of-state and distribute refined products.

Resolved Question: How deep is the water at Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark?

After my graduation, my entire graduating class is supposed to go on a private trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, Washington. I was wondering how deep it is because if its only 4 feet then I'm not going to go because I'm 5'8 and I want to be in water where I have to float and can dive underneath.

Resolved Question: Is it possible for a government to run a progressive agenda at home while financing a war at the same time?

When you look at history, in particular WWI era, many of the European nations that had leaders claiming to run a progressive-type agenda at home were unable to achieve their goals because of the precedence given to the war. In the U.K. for example, there was the labor sympathizers and liberal group had to sack their campaign promise of supporting unions, Northen Ireland's right to independence and a host of other related progressive items. In Russia, the climax of the war brought the Czar to his knees. The Czar could not provide moral leadership and effective military direction to the unequipped soldiers that were being slaughtered. He was trying to run two things : (1) Lead a war abroad and (2) Keep the country from destroying itself. As history has shown, he could not duel either of these single-handedly, let alone manage two. When Wilson was confronted with the issue of war, he could find no way out of it, but he knew that all of the programs that he supported could easily have be jepordized when subordinated to the pressing wartime interests. This was a tough trial for his leadership especially at a time when Washington was fractious as ever, with Henry Cabot Lodge leading a silent campaign to bring down the Democrats and keep the Republicans in line to support the conscription. Wilson had lost all support and credibility with Democrats when he announced that the US had to go to war. This unpopularity later killed his League of Nations, his brainchild for worldpeace. The war did weaken his progressive agenda, bringing it to a standstill as most of the spending was diverted. This was also a time when the taxes were raised considerably. When looking at history and today's politics, does it ever seem likely that Obama can effectively run a campaign at home with his FDR-like projects while fighting a war in Afghanistan that requires alot of manpower and resources?

Resolved Question: "WASHINGTON (AP) - American taxpayers will pay the imam behind plans for a mosque near the Manhattan?

site of the Sept. 11 attacks $3,000 in fees for a three-nation outreach trip to the Middle East that will cost roughly $16,000, the State Department said Wednesday. The department said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf will get a daily $200 honorarium for the 15-day tour to Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, which is intended to promote religious tolerance. Airfare is included, as well as the standard federal government per diem for expenses and lodging in each of the cities he will visit, spokesman P.J. Crowley said. Those per diem rates range from nearly $400 to nearly $500, according to official documents."

Resolved Question: Lodging for the Washington DC Tea Party?

Is anyone going to D.C. to the Tea Party on September 12th? I want to go. But, I was wondering if anyone knows if the hotels are booked up?

Resolved Question: How high are the taxes in Mt Washington New Hampshire?

and I mean Home property tax, if you OWN a home there. For example a small two story house. Like, two bedrooms downstairs and 1 upstairs. I know that sounds stupid and vague. I'm sorry for my lack of being able to give an good example. Try to work with me. :) And owning just a little under an acre of land. Also, is it a nice place to live? And is it dangerous because of all the snow in the winter? Is this place simply a place to ski, lodge at fancy hotels and mostly for rich people? Or is this simply a nice community? Sorry for all the questions, but im very intrigued by this place.

Resolved Question: Keith Ellison taking his oath with Thomas Jefferson's Quran?

And no Thomas Jefferson was not a muslim (he did know about Islam though). Anyhow, if someone elected wanted too could they be sworn in like George Washington? Being a freemason when George was sworn in as president he had a freemason ritual and then took his oath on his lodges Bible (you know to be as American as possible). I am being a little sarcastic but also pointing out Jeferson was no muslim and if we were to have seen George Washington being sworn in some people might find it a little odd.

Resolved Question: What should I do if my mother refuses medical care for my father?

My mother and father live in a small town. My father has heart problems and has visited one of the top cardiologists in the US located in Washington, DC. He needs further treatment and my mother is refusing to allow him to visit his cardiologist saying the doctors where they live are good enough. He initially had surgery in his home town and almost died due to a mistake made by the doctor. My mother is threatening to divorce my father and never talk to my sister and I again. My sister and I provide transportation and lodging for my father during his out of town doctors visits. I have offered to stay with my mother and take care of her also while my father is away. What should my sister and I do?

Resolved Question: Washington State Wedding Venue with Overnight Accommodations and outdoor?

I'm looking for a fairly cheap venue (under 2000) that can be held in or outdoors depending on the weather, and is also similar to a summer camp where there are cabins or homes nearby where we can spend the night so that the reception can be more like a family reunion camp out than reception that ends at a given time. The cost for the accommodations doesn't have to be included in the under 2000 budget. Anyone know of any place that comes to mind? I've been trying to search under corporate retreat places with no luck. The only place I've found is Anderson Lodge which looks like a good choice but I thought there would be more options. Link is here for an idea of what I'm looking for. Thanks everyone for your help! http://www.andersonlodge.com/group/lodge/weddings
