Washington is a wonderful state. Moving to Washington can be an exciting move for anyone. Washington entered the Union on Nov. 11, 1889, as the 42d state. Formerly known primarily for its agricultural and forestry products, Washington had, by the early 1990s, a highly diversified economy. Although the state remained a leading national producer of such products as apples, wheat, and timber, manufacturing had become a leading sector of the economy. Tourism and other services were also important. The state is named for George Washington. Washington is called the Evergreen State.

Washington, with an area of 71,303 sq mi, is the 18th largest state in the U.S. The elevations range from seal level to 14,410 ft stop Mt. Rainer. Washington’s coastline on the Pacific Ocean is 157 miles long. The areas vary from the Pacific coast region, the Puget Trough, the Cascade Mountain range, and the Columbia Plateau. The Columbia River is the largest river in the western U.S., drains the eastern section of Washington. The principal tributaries are the Snake R, the Spokane R, the Wenatchee, and the Yakima Rivers.

Washington’s climate varies greatly from west to east. A mild, humid climate predominates in the western part of the state, and a cooler dry climate prevails east of the Cascade Range. The average annual temperature ranges from 40-51 degrees. A wet marine West Coast climate predominates in western Washington and is mild for its latitude due to the presence of warm North Pacific Current offshore and the relatively warm maritime air masses. The region has frequent cloud cover, considerable fog, and long-lasting drizzles, with summer the sunniest season. The western slopes of the Cascade Range receive some of the heaviest annual snowfall in the country.

According to the 2000 census, Washington had 5,894,121 inhabitants. 88.6 people per square mile was the average population density in 2000. More than half the state’s population is concentrated in the Puget Sound area. The state’s largest cities are Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, and Bellevue. Olympia is the capital.

In 1895 the state provided funds for a statewide public school system. There are at least 1858 public elementary and secondary schools with an annual enrollment totaled about 585,800 elementary pupils and 224,400 secondary students. Some 59,350 students attended the private schools. Washington has 55 institutions of higher education, which include Central Washington University, the University of Washington, Seattle University, Eastern Washington University, and Whitman College. Average annual enrollment in the institutions of higher education is about 255,800 students.

Most of Washington’s major cultural institutions are in Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia. Major museums in Seattle include the Seattle Art Museum, the Thomas Burke Memorial-Washington State Museum noted for its historical collections. Seattle and Tacoma have symphony orchestras, and Seattle has an opera company. Also located in Seattle are the Pacific Northwest Ballet and several theatrical companies. There are many historical sites in Washington including the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

The diverse landscape in Washington offers a variety of types of sports and recreation. The mountains, waterways, seacoast, and extensive forests provide abundant opportunities for outdoors recreation. Hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, and camping are popular activities. The state boasts many ski areas and Olympia National Park. The sports teams that call Washington home are the Seattle Mariners in baseball, the Seattle Supersonics in basketball, the Washington Wizards also in basketball, and the Seattle Seahawks in football.

Each year $4.8 billion dollars in revenue is generated through tourism. The state’s major attractions are rural and scenic, including three national parks (Mount Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades), three national recreation areas (Lake Chelan, Coulee Dam, and Ross Lake), and extensive areas of national forests. There are 110 state parks that have been developed for camping and recreational use, also. Seattle is Washington’s leading urban tourist attraction with its Space Needle and its monorail, which was built for the Century 21 Exposition, the world’s fair of 1962, which are still in use.
