Parched landscape near Washington State's Hanford Reservation.
Here, ultraviolet rays from the sun are probably more of
a cancer threat than Hanford itself. Leaks at Hanford are fairly
contained, but many people forget their sunscreen. People tend to
worry about "high profile" news items, like hanford, but it is usually
the common place things, like traffic accidents and sun exposure, that
sneak up and get us.
Much of central Washington is dry because it is in the
rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains.
