The North Pacific Coast is very wet. The greatest average annual precipitation on the continent could be found there. They average above 75 inches of precipitation which can be considered as a common thing up north. They also state that the average precipitation on the western slope of Olympic Mountains in northwestern Washington and the coastal short of British Columbia doubles that. All of these information were from page 326 of the text book.
Also being part of the North Pacific Coast, Seattle has been the largest city in that area since the boom era. It was founded as a logging center, but once it achieved being linked with the northern U.S. transcontinental railroads, it achieved regional dominance. Seattle has been the home of big major companies such as Amazon.com, Nordstrom, Starbucks, and Boeing. Many other companies are still based there.
