The Northwest of the United States comprises the northwest of the states until the west of Great Plains of the United States, and constantly includes the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, sometimes is the southeast of Alaska. Occasionally parts of northern California are included in the Northwest.
"The Northwest" sometimes refers only to the western part of Oregon and Washington, including the coast, as well as the area of the Willamette Valley and Puget Sound, but leaves out the eastern portion of the Cascade Range.
In the United States, the term "the Pacific Northwest" is often used in the sense of Oregon and Washington and, sometimes, Idaho, Montana, northwest and northern California. Internationally, however, this term includes parts of Canada.
The Eastern Idaho region is sometimes excluded for its cultural and economic ties to the Rocky Mountain region, especially Utah. The region is culturally influenced by the northern part of the Midwest.
