Apples don’t have to come from Washington State. They can be grown in many areas of the U.S., even the hot Central Valley of California where I live.
Find a local CSA or farmers market or farm stand. These small farmers are striving to find new markets for their produce and are very responsive to customer demand. You won’t be able to buy them every day of the year, but seasonal fresh apples (like other fruits and veggies) are much better than the cold storage ones from across the country. Even the organic ones.
