Let's solve each question step by step using the maps provided in the image:

---

1. Using the physical map, name one lake in Washington.

- Answer: *Lake Ch峡* (Note: There seems to be a typo in the text "Ch峡" — it should likely be "Lake Chumstick" or another lake name. However, looking at the physical map, one clearly labeled lake is Lake Washington.)

Correct Answer: Lake Washington

> *Explanation:* On the Physical Map of Washington State, Lake Washington is prominently labeled near Seattle. It is one of the largest lakes in the state.

---

2. Using the political map, write the name of Washington’s capital.

- Answer: Olympia

> *Explanation:* The Political Map shows cities and counties. The capital city is marked with a star or labeled as “Olympia.” It is located on the southern coast of Puget Sound.

---

3. Using the climate map, name which side of Washington (East or West) gets more inches of precipitation (rain).

- Answer: West

> *Explanation:* The Climate Map shows precipitation levels using color coding. The western side of Washington (along the coast and near the Cascade Mountains) is shaded in darker green and blue, indicating higher rainfall (over 60 inches per year). In contrast, the eastern side is yellow/orange, showing much lower precipitation (under 10–20 inches). This is due to the rain shadow effect caused by the Cascade Range.

4. Using the political map, write the name of the county we live in. (counties are the...)

- Answer: *(This depends on where you live. Since no specific location is given, I cannot fill this in without knowing your location.)*

> *However, if you're in the Seattle area, for example, you would write "King County." If you're in Spokane, it would be "Spokane County."*

Example Answer (if in Seattle): King County

> *Explanation:* The Political Map shows county boundaries with different colors. Each county is labeled. You need to identify the county that includes your town or city.

---

Final Answers:


1. Lake Washington
2. Olympia
3. West
4. [Your County Name – e.g., King County] *(You must fill this in based on your actual location)*

Let me know your city or region if you'd like help identifying your county!
