Weather comes from the west, or off the water, sending storm and rain clouds over Seattle. However, the Cascade Mountains fall between Seattle and Spokane, creating a rain shadow that effects the eastern half of the state. Therefore, most of the precipitation seen in Seattle is stopped by the Cascades before it can reach Spokane, creating a much more dry and arid region then seen in Seattle.
