The rain-shadow effect has influenced our economy by the weather that is good for growing grapes. According to http://www.winesnw.com/wahome.html In recent years, Washington's wine industry has become the fastest-growing agricultural sector in the state. The number of Washington wineries has increased 400% in the last decade, attracting two million annual visitors to Washington wine country and creating a two million dollar wine-tourism industry. I took this information directly from the website listed above. Also, Our state is very beautiful and this makes it a good place to go on vacation. With all the tourist traveling here it's bound to bring some revenue our way. Eventhough, there is a down side to all this rain if there is too much events such as outdoor sports could be canceled and that would result in a loss of money. There are good and bad ways the rain-shadow effects our economy, but it could help bring more money into the state like the wineries or it could cause Washington to lose money.
