About This Book

The report offers a state government overview of Washington's geography and economic assets, dividing the territory into natural regions—Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound basin, the Cascade range, Okanogan highlands, Columbia River basin and the southeast—and outlining climate and land use in each. It surveys timber, fisheries, agriculture (fruit, wheat, dairying), irrigation and the irrigated inland grain regions, mineral prospects, livestock trends, manufacturing, transportation and port facilities, and hydroelectric potential, illustrated with statistics, county notes and photographs, and aims to inform visitors, settlers, and investors about development opportunities and recent growth.
