The Cascadia movement contains groups and organizations with a wide range of goals and strategies. Some groups, such as the Cascadian Bioregional Party, focus on the independence of the Cascadian bioregion [6] while others, such as the Cascadia Department of Bioregion, a 501(c)3 non-profit, seek to build a bioregionalist network as an alternative to the nation-state structure.
Tehaleh, [1] formerly known as Cascadia, is a master-planned unincorporated community to the south of Bonney Lake in Pierce County, Washington, United States. Construction began in 2005 with an estimated timeline for completion of 20 years. [2] The town was designed by Patrick Kuo, who had purchased the land in 1991. [3]
The Cascadia bioregion. The area from Vancouver, B.C. down to Portland, Oregon has been termed the Cascadia Megaregion, a megaregion defined by the U.S. and Canadian governments, especially along the 'Cascadia Corridor'. Megaregions are defined as areas where "boundaries begin to blur, creating a new scale of geography now known as the megaregion.

The Pacific Northwest from outer space.. The Pacific Northwest (PNW; French: Nord-Ouest Pacifique), sometimes referred to as Cascadia, is a geographic region in Western North America bounded by its coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean to the west and, loosely, by the Rocky Mountains to the east.
The Cascadia subduction zone is capable of producing megathrust earthquakes on the order of MW 9.0. Due to the relative plate motions, the triple junction has been migrating northwards for the past 25–30 million years, and assuming rigid plates, the geometry requires that a void, called slab window, develop southeast of the MTJ.

Los Angeles County in 2019 approved the construction of a 57,000-person community called Centennial about 65 miles north of downtown Los Angeles — in an area that includes lands classified as a ...
Image of the Juan de Fuca Plate that produced the magnitude 8.7–9.2 Cascadia earthquake in 1700. Magnetic anomalies around the Juan de Fuca and Gorda Ridges, off the west coast of North America, color coded by age. There are some unusual features at the Cascade subduction zone. Where the Juan de Fuca Plate sinks beneath the North American ...
