I grew up in Eburg so I can speak to that better than Yakima. Expect snow in the winter - not usually an overwhelming amount, but I have seen a building or two collapse to it over the years. Wildfires and especially their smoke can be a risk in the summer as well. Also, probably not a problem if you're living outside of town, but there are areas prone to flooding during the spring.

Absolutely

Ice storm's not very fun, but at least it looks cool from above.

Finally dropped mine today. I had to go out of my way to get it too, as neither it, nor its replacement showed up in my mail. This, despite the fact that my roommates both got theirs, I had no problem getting my ballot at this address for the last several elections, i triple-checked my registration, and the website had them marked as sent.

Kind of frustrating. Hope nobody else is having that much trouble.
