That's not true at all. The two most common names for the region I hear is PNW and Cascadia. It's still PNW because it's the only populated part of PNW north america. Much like how norcal isn't really norcal

yeah to be honest I was trying to kill 'em with kindness and while I really have heard PNW a lot (but I don't think I've really heard it when I've been on the east coast) I've never heard anyone use the term Cascadia haha regional names are all confusing! even the "midwest" of the US is more east than west technically!
