Trailblazing in the Pacific Northwest
Life in the US–Canadian Cascadia corridor
The Pacific Northwest of North America most commonly refers to Oregon, Washington state, and the Canadian province of British Columbia. The region meets the Pacific Ocean with rocky, windy coastlines, with mountain ranges streaking across the edge of the region. Rivers and large ocean inlets cut through the region’s three main cities: Seattle, Portland and Vancouver. Gigantic ferns and moss-covered trees claim land between the coast, mountains, and soil unclaimed by suburban sprawl.
