Be ready to pay out more at the grocery store for your fruits and vegetables this fall.
A perfect gale has gathered in the Northwest to create higher costs for produce and higher prices for all of us.

Perhaps the largest element of that "perfect storm" is short of workers to pick our crops -- a condition that might change the face of Washington produce forever.
