What is the difference between modular and manufactured homes?

What are some websites also? We live in Washington State, so hopefully websites in that area. I’ve looked for modular home websites, and i only get websites from the eastern states.

A "Manufactured" home is a mobile home. They are actually trailers. If they are double wides then they are split in half long ways then put back together. The axels are usually taken off once you set the home. Modular homes are built in factories also but they are not trailers, they are just delivered in pieces. Once modular houses are put together they look like any other house. New mobile homes are very nice inside and you don’t feel like your in a "trailer at all.

    I think once they set the mobile home on a cement foundation it is then termed a "modular" home.
