This can be part of the PNW but would most likely be east of the Cascades. It is also a beautiful part of the PNW. Most everything west of the Cascades is greener and more densely forested. You probably see more pictures of the west side of the Cascades depicting the PNW but both are part of it. There is so much diversity here.The Pacific Ocean, gorgeous coastline,mountains , rain forest, high desert, lakes, rivers and streams. All different for all four seasons.
