Reply to comment by geek_fire in ELI5 why do people refer to it as the pacific northwest rather than simply the northwest? by Longshot_Louie

I was from Vancouver, WA and traveling. People would ask me where I’m from and I’d say, “Vancouver”, and they’d say, “Oh, BC.” I’d respond, “No, Washington.” To which they would say, “ Oh, DC.”

Oh, yeah, I definitely assume BC when someone says Vancouver!
