Pacific Northwest
region including the northwestern United States and southwestern Canada
Pacific Northwest
This page is about the region that includes parts of Canada and the United States. For the U.S.-only region, see
Northwestern United States. The Pacific Northwest, abbreviated PNW, or PacNW is a region in the northwest of
North America. There are several partially overlapping definitions but the term Pacific Northwest should not be confused with the
Northwest Territory (aka the Great Northwest) or the
Northwest Territories. The term Northwest Coast is often used when referring only to the coastal regions. The term Northwest Plateau has been used to describe the inland regions, although they are commonly referred to as "the interior" (which in British Columbia is by convention capitalized and is used as a proper name).
