Eastern Washington will have less rain. It's more rural than the western Washington/Seattle area though.

I live in Washington. The good thing about Washington is there's something for everyone! Eastern Wa stays alot hotter during the summer. Over there you have Moses Lake, which is desert, I've never been there, so I'm not sure how big it is. But in Wanachee and surrounding areas it can get 110 degrees in the summer. But also very cold in the winter. I live near Seattle, and we had a really great summer, but other than that we do get a lot of rain during the last part of fall, throughout winter, and the first half of spring. I really like it here though! I mean how many states have the ocean, a sound, mountains, including Mt. Rainier , deserts, volcanoes:uhoh: All kinds of stuff:)

Yeah, Washington is a cool place.....I've yet to see what it's like in the winter, but when I'm there(Orting area), I absolutely love it.......Plus, basically my entire team lives there.

If it wasn't for everything I have going for me down here in AZ, I'd seriously think about moving to WA

if you're going to go eastern washington make sure it's south east becuase up in the north end of eastern washington there isn't a whole lot of riding going on. Western washington there is racing all over the place it doesn't really matter north or south. I'm from eastern washington and I have mixed feelings about it and I am leaning on moving to the west side. There is allot more jobs and those jobs pay allot better on the west side. Yet on the east the cost of living is much lower. Yo aceman I live about 45 minutes from you over in walla walla we should hit up the strip joints in umatilla sometime.

Western Washington--More rain, higher wages, higher cost of living, a lot more people.

Easter Washington--High desert climate, lower wages, lower cost of living, more rural.

Western WA has more ORV parks.

PNW Rocks!!:macho

leaning more towards western WA right now because of higher wages and riding spots are the two major reasons.cost of living is higher but were kinda used to that here in HI rent for older 2 bedroom apt. is $900. a mounth and a gal. of milk at around $5.00 and gas ave over $3.50 gal and a good ribeye steak at around 7.99 to 9.99 a pound we should not be too shocked at the cost liveing in western WA .but are sales tax is a little lower well thanks and keep them coming.you guys all sound like you would be fun to ride with. once i move we will have to meet up and go for a ride . aloha
