Best answer I've found when I ended up there.
Just dont go east. All the good stuff is west. East is Idaho, and that's scaryish territory.

Unless you consider tumbleweeds to be trees.

Kidding, but we do got a Roosevelt Dam here.
I actually never heard of Roosevelt Dam in Washington but I know Steamboat Rock State Park is near the center in Washington, north of Yakima. If you need further instructions, I imagine the state park has a website for directions.

24. It's actually Grand Coulee dam |
|
but I genreally think of it as Roosevelt dam because there's a bust of FDR at the dam. The town is called Electric City. It's worth seeing. Built by Woody Guthrie.

Lived in the Tacoma area 2 out of 3 years and the view from there is a magnificent. Though when I saw a History Channel documentary, you don't want to be in the Tacoma area when that thing blows. :scared:

grand coulee. Nice light show, and a real tribute to the Depression WPA. Makes you proud to be an American (we can pull together type stuff) and very proud to be a Dem.
They have nightly shows, iirc.

Everybody's 0-0 at the start, so they don't suck. Yet.
Season starts April 1 or thereabouts.
