I moved to Washington a few years ago and am enamored with the variety and intensity of nature's beauty here. Wikipedia has proven to be very helpful in my explorations around the state thus far, so I feel obligated to contribute back to the site. I spent two years in the Columbia Basin of central WA before moving to Seattle where I currently reside.
