Seems like the Pacific NW has always been fairly open recruiting territory.  Stanford of course is a big draw.  Arizona St. had or maybe still does have a nice pipeline to the surprisingly rich Spokane and Yakima areas.  Washington St. and Gonzaga get some players from the east side of Washington but both have a hard time competing with higher profile schools in recruiting.  UW has never really owned the Puget Sound area when it comes to recruiting.  It's cyclical but Seattle/Tacoma/Kent/Federal Way etc. produce a fair bit of talent.  The Oregon schools lately have been recruiting better in UW's back yard than the Huskies have, yet the Oregon schools can't keep most of their top instate talent from going elsewhere (mostly Tennessee it seems like).

Cashmere is a tiny community and the school competes in one of the lowest divisions of high school sports in Washington.  I'm surprised that Van Lith isn't playing for Wenatchee.  The linked article says she from there.  Much higher level of competition.

I've either seen on a message board or in an article that Cameron Brink and her mom were frequently seen at Oregon St. games last year.
