The Pacific Northwest (PNW, or PacNW) in its broadest definition is an area that includes part of the west coast of United States and Canada, including southern Alaska, all of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, western Montana and northern California and Nevada. In the United States its boundaries are imprecise but generally coincide with the area covered by the original Oregon Territory (created in 1848 - Washington, Oregon, Idaho and areas in Montana west of the Continental Divide). The Eastern Idaho region is sometimes excluded because of its cultural and economic ties to the Rocky Mountain region, particularly Utah.
Major Pacific Northwest cities in the United States include Seattle, Portland, Spokane and Boise. Vancouver and Victoria are the main Canadian cities of the region.
History
Initial exploration
British Captain and erstwhile pirate Francis Drake sailed off the Oregon coast in 1579 and during the early 1740s, Imperial Russia sent the Dane Vitus Bering to the region. Sometime in the same era a Greek captain in the employ of the Portuguese Empire is believed to have found the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which bears his name. More on [ Pacific Northwest ]
