The rainshadow effect effects the economy by making the west side rainy and the east side dry. How does that effect the economy? well, in the summer the water parks make more money on the east side because it is hotter. Also according to the text book: Washington: A State of Contrasts, reacreation and tourism produce billions of dollars. The point I'm trying to make here is, if the weather is bad people are most likely not to tour that place. So the western side does not make as much money because of that. In contrast a city like Seattle which is in the western side of the Cascade makes more because of their sports.
