Highway 2 crosses the Cascades from the Puget lowlands to eastern sagebrush steppe so it's climatically diverse.
Starting off with Monroe which is basically a cooler, wetter Seattle. It sits at the base of the Cascades.
Baring is in the nearby foothills. It's significantly wetter due to orographic lift.
Leavenworth is a rain shadowed continental climate in the eastern Cascades foothills. It's a bit of a frost hollow.
Once you get to Wenatchee, where the native vegetation is sagebrush steppe, things start to get real dry.
And lastly we have Spokane which is the only one of these places that I haven't been.
