- Northwest Washington Spring (washingtonlandscape.blogspot.com)
Winter in northwest Washington is a bit hard to define. It is a transition between fall and spring with periodic short spells of very cold weather. Some years such as this year there are no cold spells of note. The chances of a cold spell this late are pretty remote. Late Monday the weather shifted from chilly wet to mild and wet. No more 32 to 40 degree days with a mix of rain and snow in the lowlands.

- Washington (state) (Wikipedia)
Washington (/ˈwɒʃɪŋtən/), officially the State of Washington and often referred to as Washington state to distinguish it from the national capital, Washington, D.C., is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the Western United States. Named for George Washington—the first U.S. president—the state was formed from the western part of the Washington Territory, which was ceded by the British Empire in 1846, by the Oregon Treaty in the settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. The state is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, Oregon to the south, Idaho to the east, and the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north. It was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. Olympia is the state capital; the state’s largest city is Seattle.
- Washington (state) (Wikivoyage)
Washington offers rugged coastline, deserts, forests, mountains, volcanoes, and hundreds of coastal islands to explore. The Cascade Mountains bisect the state, with the damp forested coastal areas to the west, and pine forests, deserts and irrigated farmland of the Columbia River Plateau to the east. Outside the state, Washington is often called Washington state, to distinguish it from the national capital Washington, D.C., on the East Coast.
