Washington State Ranked #1 for Best Summers!
With darn near 100 degrees in the forecast today, you might be wishing you were somewhere else, but you're already in the #1 State for most pleasant and mild summers. According to Thrillist.com, there are 49 other states that are worse than Washington when it comes to summertime. Oregon is in the top 4 for best summers, beaten only by WA, Rhode Island and Minnesota. When you factor in the coastline, west-siders have it cooler of course. But the Mid-Columbia gets a major cool-down this weekend with a forecast high on Saturday of 86 and only 76 on Sunday!
