If you looked at Washington from an overhead view from left to right this is how it would appear. Starting on the west coast, Washington borders the Pacific ocean. Next to the east are the Olympics. Then, still moving east, is the Puget Sound. Next are the Cascades, the biggest and most important land feature in Washington. This mountain range includes Mount Rainier and Mount Hood. The reason why the Cascades are so important is because of the climate change. West of the Cascades it is very wet, like in Seattle. But east of the Cascades it becomes dry. Moving east, Washington is separated into three regions. In the northeastern part of Washington are the Okanogan Highlands, then a little more south is the Columbia Plateau. In the southeastern corner, there is the Blue Mountains.
