“We’ve had large regions that have had less than 70% of their average precipitation since January 1 of this year,” Oregon State climatologist John O’Neil told KIRO Newsradio.O’Neil claimed Washington has had approximately five fewer inches of both rain and snow than normal, leaving him to believe Eastern Washington will be drier than average this winter. It’s too soon to tell what is going to happen in Western Washington.
Earlier this year, in response to the drier conditions, the state declared a drought “state of emergency” in 12 counties: Benton, Clallam, Columbia, Jefferson, Kittitas, Klickitat, Okanogan, Skagit, Snohomish, Walla Walla, Whatcom and Yakima.
