What are 2 important ways that the Pacific Ocean affects the land and people of Washington?

Well first of all it transports lots of things we use every day even if we don't realize it, try writing that on your next essay about the Pacific Ocean, instant A! I have posted this to the community so please feel free to add another paragraph containing an important reason why the Pacific Ocean is a mandatory body of water. Of course there are other facts like it is home to the barrier reef, it is the deepest ocean in the world and also the largest but those aren't exactly in this category. Thanks for reading!
