The Pacific States

The Pacific states are California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Alaska. These states hold some of the biggest cities in America, but also have national parks, like Yosemite in California. This land is mountainous with little flat land. Alaska has the highest mountain in America called Mount Mckinley, which is about 20,320 feet above sea level. Of all the states, California is the most populated. Even though Alaska is the biggest of all the states, it is the second to least populated. The least populated state is Wyoming.

California produces the most fruit and vegetables, because it has a mild climate and good soil. Some of the fruits and vegetables that grow there are lettuce, grapes, sugar beets, strawberries, oranges, almonds, walnuts, peaches, lemons, celery, carrots, and cantaloupe. These states also lead in lumber and have many forests.

Besides growing food, these states also manufacture things. Boeing and Microsoft both have their headquarters in Washington. Boeing makes airplanes, and Microsoft makes computers.
