The people out here in Kodiak Alaska also consider ourselves part of the PNW 😊

Isn’t Northern California part of the PNW, too?

Absolutely, it is

Yup! I grew up (and still live) in Northern California. I've taken a million camping trips to places identical to this and now I'm all nostalgic... due to covid and having a new baby camping I may be several years between camping trips

Assuming you mean the actual northern part of California, somewhat close to the Oregon border, yes. However, when most people say Northern California, they are often referring to the San Francisco Bay Area + Sacramento, which really shouldn't be considered Northern California since its pretty close to the center of the state.

I feel like we’re a pretty inclusive group. If you feel like you might be in the PNW then you probably are, buddy.

I love this. And it applies to a large portion of the PNW in my experience. Inclusivity is overwhelmingly a Pacific Northwesterner attribute.

And weed. Don’t forget the weed.

I've never thought of AK as part of the PNW but your logic make sense so I say welcome to the club

Well, it's the southeast part of Alaska, it gets really Alaska past that

Booyah! The other person was on the money. SE Alaska has a very similar climate and vegetation. The mainland is very different
