The highest peak in the Pacific Northwest is Mount Rainier, in the Washington Cascades, at 14,410 feet (4,392 m). Immediately inland from the Cascade Range are broad, generally dry plateaus. In the US, this region is known as the <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Plateau" title="Columbia Plateau">Columbia Plateau</a>, while in British Columbia, it is the <a href="/wiki/Interior_Plateau" title="Interior Plateau">Interior Plateau</a>, also called the <a href="/wiki/Fraser_Plateau" title="Fraser Plateau">Fraser Plateau</a>. The Columbia Plateau was the scene of massive ice-age floods, and as a consequence, there are many <a href="/wiki/Coulee" title="Coulee">coulees</a>, canyons, and the <a href="/wiki/Channeled_Scablands" title="Channeled Scablands">Channeled Scablands</a>.

Because many areas have plentiful rainfall and mild summers, the Pacific Northwest has some of North America's most lush and extensive forests, which are extensively populated with <a href="/wiki/Pseudotsuga_menziesii_var._menziesii" title="Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii">Coast Douglas fir</a> trees, the second tallest growing <a href="/wiki/Evergreen" title="Evergreen">evergreen</a> <a href="/wiki/Conifer" title="Conifer">conifer</a> on earth.

Coastal forests in some areas are classified as <a href="/wiki/Temperate_rainforest" title="Temperate rainforest">temperate rainforest</a>. Coastal features are defined by the interaction with the Pacific and the North American continent. The coastline of the Pacific Northwest is dotted by numerous fjords, bays, islands, and mountains. Some of these features include the <a href="/wiki/Oregon_Coast" title="Oregon Coast">Oregon Coast</a>, <a href="/wiki/Burrard_Inlet" title="Burrard Inlet">Burrard Inlet</a>, <a href="/wiki/Puget_Sound" title="Puget Sound">Puget Sound</a>, and the highly complex fjords of the <a href="/wiki/British_Columbia_Coast" title="British Columbia Coast">British Columbia Coast</a> and <a href="/wiki/Southeast_Alaska" title="Southeast Alaska">Southeast Alaska</a>.

The vast majority of such islands are in British Columbia and Alaska. Vancouver Island is by far the largest island in the area, but other significant land masses include the <a href="/wiki/Haida_Gwaii" title="Haida Gwaii">Haida Gwaii</a>, vast and remote <a href="/wiki/Princess_Royal_Island" title="Princess Royal Island">Princess Royal Island</a>, <a href="/wiki/Prince_of_Wales_Island_(Alaska)" title="Prince of Wales Island (Alaska)">Prince of Wales Island</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chichagof_Island" title="Chichagof Island">Chichagof Island</a>.

Large geographical areas may only have one mid-sized to small-sized city as a regional center (often a county seat), with smaller cities and towns scattered around. Vast areas of the region may have little or no population at all, largely due to the presence of extensive mountains and forests, and plateaus containing both extensive farm and range lands, much of which is protected from development in large parks and preserves, or by zoning use regulation related to traditional land use. For example, all cities within the portion of California which are sometimes included some definitions of the "Pacific Northwest" have populations less than 100,000, with that portion of the state containing millions of acres of national forests and parks. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="List_of_largest_cities_by_population_in_the_Pacific_Northwest">List of largest cities by

Seattle is one of a handful of major cities in North America in which the populace engaged in a <a href="/wiki/Seattle_General_Strike" title="Seattle General Strike">general strike</a> (in 1919), and was the first major American city to elect a woman mayor, <a href="/wiki/Bertha_Knight_Landes" title="Bertha Knight Landes">Bertha Knight Landes</a> (in 1926).<a href="#cite_note-123">[117]</a> <a href="/wiki/Socialism" title="Socialism">Socialist</a> beliefs were once widespread (thanks in large part to the area's large numbers of Scandinavian immigrants), and the region has had a number of Socialist elected officials. So great was its influence that the U.S. Postmaster General, James Farley, jokingly toasted the "forty-seven states of the Union, and the Soviet of Washington", at a gala dinner in 1936 (although Farley denied ever saying it).<a href="#cite_note-124">[118]</a> Due to the Pacific Northwest being a generally liberal region, it also has a long history of feminism and people with feminist ideologies. The journey on the Oregon Trail may have been the part of the cause of feminism in the region, many women on the trail had to break gender-normative roles.<a href="#cite_note-:0-125">[119]</a> Women occasionally were allowed the chance to try new things like cracking the whip for the wagon, given these opportunities women began to question their roles in society.<a href="#cite_note-:0-125">[119]</a> Early days in the west, no forms of government had been established and this may have been part of the cause of feminist ideologies, new laws were formed to fit the regions needs and women were granted rights to land ownership in the West much earlier than in the East because of high death rates of men in the region.<a href="#cite_note-126">[120]</a> While this may be coincidental, this granted women power. Women's suffrage movements were prominent in the Pacific Northwest; Susan B. Anthony did a tour through the region attempting to spread her ideas and made stops in Portland, the Willamette Valley, Columbia River, and Victoria.<a href="#cite_note-127">[121]</a> Not only were women's suffrage movements prominent in the Pacific Northwest, but there was also a fight for women to keep their jobs after men returned from war in World War I.<a href="#cite_note-128">[122]</a> A group titled the Washington State Women's Council (founded in 1963) fought for women's policies, this group worked towards the states' equal rights amendment, and fought for women's property rights in marriage during the 1972 legislative session.<a href="#cite_note-129">[123]</a> The region also has a long history of starting cooperative and communal businesses and organizations, including <a href="/wiki/Group_Health" class="mw-redirect" title="Group Health">Group Health</a>,<a href="#cite_note-130">[124]</a> <a href="/wiki/REI" title="REI">REI</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mountain_Equipment_Co-op" title="Mountain Equipment Co-op">MEC</a>, <a href="/wiki/Puget_Consumers_Co-op" class="mw-redirect" title="Puget Consumers Co-op">Puget Consumers Co-op</a>, and numerous granges and mutual aid societies. It also has a long history of publicly owned power and utilities, with many of the region's cities owning their own <a href="/wiki/Public_utility" title="Public utility">public utilities</a>. In British Columbia, <a href="/wiki/Credit_union" title="Credit union">credit unions</a> are common and popular cooperatively owned financial institutions. East of the Cascades, in Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon, the population is much more conservative. The eastern portions of Washington and especially Oregon, due to their low populations, do not generally have enough voting power to be competitive at the state level, and thus the governorships and U.S. Senate seats of both Oregon and Washington are usually held by the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democrats</a>. Conservatism in the eastern part of the Pacific Northwest tends to be distrustful of federal government interference in the market. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Economy">Economy</h2>[<a
