We spent the last three days exploring Spokane, WA and Coeur d'Alene ID. Idaho is full of mountains and lakes; the land levels out considerably once you cross the border into Washington. Of course, the prettier scenery means higher prices too. We spent a lot of time looking around the various area, but took some time to visit a park in Post Falls, ID, where the kids had a chance to swim in the Spokane River.
This morning we drove down to Walla Walla, WA. I've always thought of Eastern Washington as being mostly flat, but we drove through some really weird hilly country. Lots of wheat on those hills, too.
Walla Walla is mostly flat. The Blue Mountains are to the east, but we haven't seen much of them yet.

It doesn't look all that weird from the pics, except I thought it was supposed to rain all the time? What exactly is a sunny day doing in Washington?
It's a common misconception that it rains all the time in Washington. This myth is perpetuated by the locals who want to keep the Californians away. Actually, only the Western part of the state has a lot of rain, and even there it's more of a constant overcast/drizzle rather than rain.
That's why we're looking at the Eastern half....
But the eastern half doesn't have any ocean - what would be the good in that?
