Washington Costal Region

The Olympic Peninsula in Washington features diverse climates and ecosystems, characterized by unique landforms and annual precipitation levels. Home to endemic species like the Olympic Marmot and the Chinook Salmon, the region showcases remarkable animal and plant adaptations to its varying environments. With over 70 cloudy days annually, the area faces challenges such as invasive species like ivy, which threaten local flora. This guide highlights key natural features, climate patterns, and conservation efforts in this rich ecological zone.
