Any nice areas in WA that don't get a ton of rain? (Anacortes: living)

[bishard2]

I was just wondering if there were any nice areas in WA that don't get a whole lot of rain. We currently live in OR., and it rains enough here for us, but was told there are some areas in WA that don't get as much rain...is that true? Thanks so much in advance

Anywhere east of the Cascades, of course. Just like in Oregon.

Or in western WA, the "rain shadow" area from Anacortes across the San Juan Islands to the Sequim area of the northern Olympic Peninsula.

Western Washington rain shadow.

WA doesn't get a ton of rain, its actually about the same as SoCal, just spread out.

First, what are you getting as far as rain? What do you consider too much? It is difficult to provide comparisons when you don’t have anything to compare.
