Kittitas County, right on the other side of Snoqualmie Pass, gets 105"/year at the wettest spot and about 7"/year at the driest. It is about 85 miles from one side of the county (Snoqualmie Pass) to the other (Vantage on the Columbia River.) I'm in GIS (mapping) and am always amazed at how many people (even in mapping conferences) think that the state is all wet like Seattle, when most of the state is arid.

S/o to Kittitas county nice. I90 runs right through and feeds a shit ton of truckers headed east.

And we feed even more when the pass closes - as they stop traffic in Ellensburg. We are not quite the geographic center of the state (that is closer to Wenatchee), but we are definitely in the transportation center.
