I think somebody at one time wanted to split eastern and western Washington
and Oregon into two long states and call the western one Cascadia or some
such. I don't know what they wanted to call the eastern portions.  And
Cascadia has sort of been taken up, as  kind of "regional" designation by
some environmentalists.
