Does it always rain in Washington? 
Seattle may have a reputation for precipitation, but the summer months are typically dry. However, in the Cascade Mountains nearby, the weather can change quickly, even in the peak of summer. It’s advisable to always dress in layers and have waterproof clothing on hand. 

On the eastern side of the state, temperatures are more extreme, with hot summers and significantly colder winters. The landscapes east of the Cascades, such as the badlands and treeless steppe, reflect the drier climate in this region.
