Nobody who lives out here considers San Francisco part of the Northwest. It's just confusing when I read it in Apt. Therapy. I wish you'd stop.
I would agree, the Northwest would conote the Pacific NW, or NW region in general, which would include Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Pacific NW is Puget Sound, generally.
What are you guys talking about?
When the PNW finally starts it's cout, our southern capitol is going to be SF!
VIVA LA PACIFICA!
;)
while northern california is in many ways closer to the pacific northwest than it is to southern california, I'm not sure SF would be the best choice of a capital. Vancouver rules.
As for the quest for a blogger, you'll just have to wait until I finally move to Seattle.
Thanks for fixing the text. I can rest now.
Saying that SF is in the Pacific Northwest is like saying that DC is in New England.
The big three Pacific NW cities are Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. San Francisco is its own entity.
JR -- what happened to Victoria? You can hop the ferry in Seattle and be there in plenty of time for tea.
Boomer -- there's a dry spot in "Pacifica"?
for me, PNW includes British Columbia.
as for La Pacifica -- the geographic location is as slipperly as the name.
and, boomer, in case you haven't gathered from some of the references in my posts, I'm not unfamiliar with the West Coast.
ooooh--I meant Vancouver, BC. I also must admit that, as a native Puget Sounder, I've never considered eastern Washington or eastern Oregon cities to be very "northwest-y." Sorry, Spokane!
This is, of course, my personal bias.
and JonathanB, I love Victoria; I just don't see it in the same city-league as Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver (it certainly has fewer people and apartments).
But as long as we're talking about cities, why not AT Bellingham?! Or Olympia! Man, I miss western Washington.
I could be wrong, but isn't Victoria the capital of British Columbia?
On a more serious note, the whole area is beautiful -- even Tacoma -- and the ferry system is a wonderful way to see large sections of the coastline as well as get from point to point.
It's hilarious that anyone could confuse Vancouver WA and Vancouver BC.
The whole Pacific Northwest needs a separate AT in my opinion. SF has more in common with LA than Seattle/Portland.
that's a bit like my saying because I spent so much time in Boston, when someone says Portland, I think Maine.
considering all the chatter this has generated, does anyone know if anyone actually applied for the job?
It's only hilarious to me because I grew up in Vancouver BC, and my brother now lives in Camas WA. He's always hungry for chinese food ;-)
Oops - looks like I'd better retract a recent email statement... and no, I'm not getting in on this arguement.
