Bring in Washington and Oregon and get a corridor up the west coast. Let’s connect Canada and Mexico and the sane US states to create a powerhouse trading union

I'm renouncing my US citizenship for a Cascadia passport day one.

I was thinking about that the other day. I identify as a new englander way more than an American. I've traveled to other areas of the country a handful of times and feel like I'm in a different country.

I once came back into the US from an overseas trip, and went thru customs in LA. The lady said "Welcome home" and I replied that I wasn't home until back in Oregon. She got furious with me, had my bags pulled for a full search while she could tell me what in improper American I was. I replied back to her that I was an Oregonian.
