), officially the
State of Washington
, is a
state
in the
Pacific Northwest
region of the
United States
. Named for
George Washington
, the first
U.S. president
, the state was made out of the western part of the
Washington Territory
, which was ceded by the
British Empire
in 1846, in accordance with the
Oregon Treaty
in the settlement of the
Oregon boundary dispute
. The state, which is bordered on the west by the
Pacific Ocean
,
Oregon
to the south,
Idaho
to the east, and the
Canadian province
of
British Columbia
to the north, was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889.
Olympia
is the
state capital
; the state's largest city is
Seattle
. Washington is often referred to as
Washington State
to distinguish it from the nation's capital,
Washington, D.C.
Washington is the
18th largest state
, with an area of 71,362 square miles (184,827 km
2
), and the
13th most populous
state, with more than 7.6 million people. Approximately 60 percent of Washington's residents live in the
Seattle metropolitan area
, the center of transportation, business, and industry along
Puget Sound
, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean consisting of numerous islands, deep
fjords
, and bays carved out by glaciers. The remainder of the state consists of deep
temperate rainforests
in the west;
mountain ranges
in the west, central, northeast, and far southeast; and a semi-arid basin region in the east, central, and south, given over to intensive agriculture. Washington is the second most populous state on the
West Coast
and in the
Western United States
, after
California
.
Mount Rainier
, an active
stratovolcano
, is the state's highest elevation, at almost 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), and is the most
topographically prominent
mountain in the
contiguous U.S.
Washington is a leading
lumber
producer; its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa pine, white pine, spruce, larch, and cedar. Washington is the nation's largest producer of apples, hops, pears, red raspberries, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries, and ranks high in the production of apricots, asparagus, dry edible peas, grapes, lentils, peppermint oil, and potatoes. Livestock and livestock products make important contributions to total farm revenue, and the commercial fishing of salmon, halibut, and bottomfish makes a significant contribution to the state's economy. Washington ranks second only to California in
wine
production.
Manufacturing industries in Washington include aircraft and missiles, shipbuilding, and other transportation equipment, food processing, metals and metal products, chemicals, and machinery. Washington has more than a thousand dams, including the
Grand Coulee Dam
, built for a variety of purposes including irrigation, power, flood control, and water storage.
Washington is one of the
wealthiest
and most socially liberal states in the country.

life expectancy
and low
unemployment
.

Along with
Colorado
, Washington was one of the
first to legalize medicinal and recreational
cannabis
, was among the first thirty-six states to legalize
same-sex marriage
, doing so in 2012, and was one of only four U.S. states to have been providing legal
abortions
on request
before the 1973
Supreme Court
decision in
Roe v. Wade
loosened abortion laws nationwide. Similarly, Washington voters approved a
2008 referendum
on legalization of
physician-assisted suicide
, and is currently one of only five states, along with
Oregon
,
California
,
Colorado
and
Vermont
, as well as
the District of Columbia
to have legalized the practice. The state is also one of eight in the country to have criminalized the sale, possession and transfer of
bump stocks

California
,
Florida
,
New Jersey
,
New York
,
Vermont
,
Maryland
, and
