These terms are used primarily as a geographic designation, but of course have cultural connotations as well; The term "Northwest" is used loosely. Take note of local usage and you will see the Northwest could encompass any combination of British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, and Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming in the United States. Arguably, the heart of the Northwest embraces the states of Washington and Oregon. In reference to these two, and sometimes also British Columbia, you are likely to hear the term "Pacific Northwest"; For the purposes of Go Northwest!, we define the Northwest as being the coastal province and states of British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon, and the land bound states of Montana and Idaho)
