Washington
Washington – a state in the northwestern United States, part of the Western region of the United States, the 42nd state in the union. The capital is Olympia, the largest city is Seattle. The population is about 5.9 million people (2000). To avoid confusion with the capital, the name of that city is usually followed by the abbreviation DC (meaning “District of Columbia”), and the word “state” is added to the name of the state.
State Nickname: Evergreen State
Geography
Washington State borders the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north, Idaho to the east, and Oregon to the south. In the west it is washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The total area is 184,824 km 2 (18th in the USA), of which 172,587 km 2 is land.
History
Prior to the arrival of Europeans on the west coast, the territory of present-day Washington was inhabited by numerous Indian tribes who lived by fishing and whaling. The first European whose appearance in this territory was recorded in the chronicles was the Spanish captain Bruno de Eceta, who arrived here in 1775 at the head of a squadron of two ships. In 1778, the British captain James Cook sailed at the mouth of the Juan de Fuca Strait, but for the first time the straits that now separate the state of Washington and British Columbia were explored in 1789 by the expedition of Captain Charles Barclay. In the early 1790s, the Spanish captains Manuel Quimper and Francisco Elisa, as well as the British George Vancouver, continued the exploration. In 1792, Captain Robert Gray discovered the mouth of the Columbia River.
In 1819, Spain renounced its claims to the territory of the current state in favor of the United States. Since then, the territory has become the subject of a dispute between the United States and Great Britain. The dispute was resolved in favor of the United States on June 15, 1846, when the Oregon Agreement was concluded.
November 11, 1889 Washington became the 42nd state of the United States.
Ross Lake National Recreation Area
Ross Lake, located in the state of Washington, is a vast water reservoir adorning the Cascade Mountains. The lake partially extends into Canadian British Columbia and is part of the North Cascades National Park. The lake is approximately 37 km long and 2.5 km wide. It is surrounded by high mountains named Hozomeen, Ruby, Desolation and Jack. The main tributary of the lake is the Skagit River. Glacier activity has also created many diverse creeks, such as Hozomeen Creek, Silver Creek, Little Beaver Creek, Arctic Creek, Lighting Creek, Devils Creek, Big Beaver Creek, and Ruby Creek.
In 1949, the Ross Dam was built on the lake with a height of 165 meters. There is a hydroelectric plant on it, which together with others in this location forms an energy chain that supplies electricity to the city of Seattle. Thanks to these dams, lakes of the same name were created in flooded valleys. There are four islands in Ross Lake. The entire area has been declared a National Recreation Area and is protected by the National Park Service. The lake is a very attractive tourist destination, particularly sought after by fishermen and lovers of boating and sailing. However, its azure blue surface, which is the result of the dissolution of rocks washed down by rain from the surrounding mountains, also attracts photographers.
A major tourist center is the Colonial Creek Campground at Diablo Lake, which is surrounded by massive Douglas firs and abundant ferns. Here you will walk on a thick layer of moss, which is like a soft green carpet.
North Cascades National Park is one of four national parks located in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State and is often referred to as the American Alps. It is covered by three hundred active glaciers, which is why the steep peaks here are covered with eternal snow all year round. A single mountain road passes through the middle of the reserve with deep forests, streams, rivers and lakes. However, it is impassable in the winter due to the amount of snow and possible avalanches. Only footpaths lead to most of the most beautiful places in the park. In the center of the national park is the settlement of Newhalem, where you can also find a visitor center.
