The Spirit of the Pacific Northwest

When you think of the Pacific Northwest (PNW), what comes to mind? Towering, snow-capped mountains? Pristine wilderness teeming with wildlife? Rugged coastlines and misty forests? Whatever your vision, the PNW is a place of breathtaking diversity—offering untamed beauty, endless adventure, and a deep-rooted sense of community.

Pacific Northwest Region Map

Stretching across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, parts of Montana, Northern California, Alaska, and British Columbia, the region is often referred to as Cascadia—a name derived from the Cascades, meaning "falling water" or "waterfalls." The PNW is framed by the Pacific Ocean to the west and iconic mountain ranges to the east, boasting some of North America's most majestic peaks, including Mount Rainier and Mount Hood. Whether you're looking for year-round outdoor activities, legendary folklore, or a vibrant local culture, the Pacific Northwest has it all.
