"The Cascadia Bioregion is also referred to as the Pacific Northwest Bioregion and encompasses all of Washington, and portions of Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, British Columbia, and Alberta" (Wikipedia).
"The term 'Cascadia' first gained use in the natural sciences when geologists and botanists used it to depict, respectively, a subterranean formation and terrestrial vegetation in the Pacific Northwest. During the last quarter of the twentieth century, others began to use the term to describe a cultural, social, and ecological region" (Center for the Study of the Pacific Northwest, University of Washington).
"Cascadia shares a lot more in common than mountains, salmon, and rain--it shares some important cultural and spiritual characteristics as well. More than lines on a map, regional observers have begun to argue that Cascadia is also a cultural and spiritual state of mind" (Matthew Kaemingk).
