Temperature conditions upon the east coast 
are intermediate between those of the west coast 
and those of the interior, but during the occas- 
ional cold waves of the winter the temperature of 
the east coast is often lower than that of the more 
sheltered interior. The rainfall upon the east 
coast is less than in the interior. It is especially 
light in the southeast peninsula in the vicinity of 
Victoria, as that part of the island is sheltered 
from the moist southwest winds by the lofty 
Olympic Mountains of northwestern Washing-
