Planners ponder the future of 'Cascadia' -- U.S., Canada consider cooperation on growth. The United States, mighty as it is, can't tame crowding and pollution in the growing Eugene-to-Vancouver, B.C., megalopolis without Canada's help.

That's according to the visionaries behind "Cascadia" -- people in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia whose vision of cross-border unity is becoming less of a wild-haired concept and more of a problem-solving tool.

"An early Scots explorer David Douglas (for whom the Douglas fir was named), gave the name "Cascades" to the region's flowing waters that later became the name for the mountain range, but "Cascadia " has now re-entered the vocabulary as a cross-border regional identity that allows Western Canadian and American Northwesterners to forge cooperative programmes to promote their joint destinies."

Vancouver and "Cascadia" by Robert Kaplan, August, 1998
For years "Cascadia," formerly a geographic term for the Cascade Mountain region stretching from central Oregon to British Columbia, has been a trendy political concept in the Pacific Northwest. A 1975 novel, Ecotopia,by Ernest Callenbach, envisioned an independent nation in the Pacific Northwest; it has sold 650,000 copies. Cascadia is united by its wet, rather drowsy climate, which may account in part for the profusion of coffee bars and bookstores, and its unique ecology -- a temperate rain forest boasting some of the world's largest firs, cedars, spruces, and hemlocks. Temperate rain forests are found only in slivers of coastal terrain in Japan, Chile, Scandinavia, New Zealand, and a few other places. In 1989 sixty legislators from both sides of the border formed the Pacific Northwest Economic Region; business leaders from both sides formed a group called Pacific Corridor Enterprise.
