Scenarios about 'pacific northwest'
The Pacific Northwest is a geographic region along the west coast of North America comprising parts of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and sometimes Idaho and Alaska. This temperate rainforest area is characterized by its distinctive geography of mountain ranges, dense forests, and coastline, which shaped its unique development through indigenous cultures, fur trading, logging, and maritime industries.
