Washington state is quite interesting too. Its very, very close in character to Oregon. Washington has the Olympic National Forest - a rain forest in the NW of that state. Washington's drawback is its big city - Seattle. The water on its west side bottle-necks the traffic for it, and cities to the north and south. Its a traffic crisis.

Oregon has a notable cheese company, in Tillamook, Oregon. Tillamook Cheese. Ice cream, cheese and spicy deli meats. So that's one small comparison to Wisconsin.
