Baker City has about 10,000 people and is about 3300’ as well. Burns is 4100’, K Falls is pretty about 20K people and 4000’. Lake view is the highest town in Oregon at 4800’. A lot of those cities have some pretty serious elevation. They're like Western Montana. I know Butte is around 6000 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown Bend is at about 3700’, highest parts of Bend excluding Pilot Butte get to about 4k. Bend being higher than Sisters is something that feels like it isn’t true, but is.

I live in Spokane Valley, which is around 2000 feet. Five Mile Prairie, which is north of my location, is close to 2400 feet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubus Leucodermis Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Nothing more than a few light sprinkles and temps for the most part above 20°C here all day, but judging by the radar that’s about to change.

Doinko Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 I was curious, what areas in the lowlands of the Puget Sound/Willamette Valley do people think are the best/worst for snow accumulations or rainfall? Excepting the foothills and higher elevations. I think the microclimates around the area are pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow drift Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised this year if we see the coldest 4th of July since 2000. I see 60 degrees and drizzle in my future. This year seems like the year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MV_snow Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 If it’s going to rain this much we may as well set records lol. Almost everyone I talk to IRL hates this pattern so it’s nice to be on a forum with those that can appreciate it. I would prefer some drier periods mixed in but it is what it is. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
