I’ve been to both, with friends living in Bend and Eugene who I’ve visited several times. Drove from Seattle to the Olympic peninsula along the Juan de Fuca straight from Port Angeles. Went down to second beach and La Push and went through the rain forest. Took the train south from Seattle to Portland. Drove from Eugene to Boise. Didn’t spend a ton of time in Boise but overall I agree it didn’t add up as being the Pacific Northwest. However, I was not in Northern Idaho, where the poster above says it is culturally closer to PNW. Given that everything on the internet agrees with them, I’m going with them.

Does that cover all of our bases?

Are you one of those people who won’t change their mind even when evidence and anecdote tell you you’re wrong? If you don’t think so you may want to reflect on it a little longer if after the below you still think you’re right.

Go to Wikipedia to check for yourself, but I’ve saved you the trouble. While there is not a consensus on which of the three options below is true “PNW” all include Idaho.

“The map below shows three possibilities: (1) The shaded area shows the historical Oregon Country. (2) The green line shows the Cascadia bioregion.[6] (3) The labeled states and provinces include Washington, Idaho, Oregon and British Columbia.”
