Without looking…
I-90 begins in Seattle, ends in Boston
2-Tri-Cities: Kenewick, Yakima, and Richland
3-Kettles are near Kettle Falls, buried by Coulee Dam/Lake Roosevelt and are the depressions caused by the rapids making great fishing points for Indians
4-Biggest natural lake =Lake Chelan, man-made= Lake Roosevelt
5-Hoh River is in the Olympic Peninsula, about half-way up 101
6-No vampires in Fork, just idiot TV personalities
7-Deception Pass was hard to navigate by ships due to tides, rocks, and narrowness
8-Can’t remember Mt Baldy – could be Mt Spokane?
9-Spotted Owls are still in the peninsula area
10-Not sure about Potato County – either Grant or Lincoln? Grant County used to be Sugar Beet Capital.
I agree with Sonja on 1, but the 3rd city is Pasco. Lake Chelan has the distinction of being a natural & man-made Lake. Love the Hoh which is North of Klaloch and South of Forks on Hwy 101
The Vampire in Forks might be the sign at the south entrance of Forks, for tourists who stop for a photo. Spotted Owls need small varmits for dinner so hang around most trees with ground cover. I’ve seen them in Amboy in my friends wood lot! I saw plenty of potatoes while traveling to WSU, so Grant County’s sign is correct!
Mt Baldy’s my bugaboo. Otherwise I agree with Sonja.
