Weather in the southwest of the US comes inland from the Pacific Ocean. The large mountain ranges in California extract moisture from the atmosphere in the form of rain and snow, leaving very dry air to pass on to the southwest states, resulting in deserts there.
The same happens in the State of Washington and Oregon . . . the weather comes in from the Pacific Ocean, and the Cascade Mountains extract rain and snow, leaving central Washington and central Oregon dry places. In Oregon, the result is referred to as the high desert. Agriculture occurs, though, by irrigating crops with water from the great Columbia River.
