   It also runs east to west along the border of Washington and Oregon. In   
   fact, most of the Columbia in that map was that border section.

   Well, there aren't any other major rivers in the Northwest other than   
   the Willamette, so that's understandable.

   It's mostly an Idaho river, since all the most populated parts of Idaho   
   are along or near the Snake. Although curiously, the largest city in   
   Idaho, Boise, is not on the Snake, although it is fairly close. But the   
   Snake also goes through Hell's Canyon along the border with Oregon and   
   the lowest reaches are through southeast Washington.   
      
   You may have heard of the movement to remove 4 dams on the Snake. Those   
   are all in Washington.
