This is a collection of lovingly handpicked links to various sites related to some of our members, Cascadia in general, clubs and organisations visits to which are well worth being in one’s diary, sources of food for thought, and just general links we believe may be of the interest to our members as well as some odd visitors of this website.
Commercial bank based in both New York City and Seattle, Washington.
A discussion group on Cascadian bio-regional affairs, but not necessarily on independence.
Cascadia Center (“Commerce, Community and Conservation”)
“The mission of the Cascadia Center is to support the development of a balanced, integrated, and expanded transportation system for people and goods in central Puget Sound and the greater Cascadia region of Washington, British Columbia, and Oregon. Such a system will ensure the region’s ability to facilitate trade and tourism across a secure border and expand technology and infrastructure for global competitiveness in a manner that promotes livable communities.” – from the website
Regional environmental news publication.
Cascadian Bioregionalism Discussion Group
Cascadian National Party [CNP]
“The CNP is a political party representing the peoples of Oregon and Washington. The CNP political leanings are neither extreme left nor extreme right. We have views that adapt elements of Libertarian, Progressive, Environmental, and Nationalist beliefs. However, the main goal is for our states to gain independence in a democratic and legal manner.” – edited from the website
“Founded in 1993, as the Cascadia Project, Discovery Institute’s Cascadia Center for Regional Development is an important force in regional transportation and sustainable development issues. We’re proud of our reputation as an independent voice for creative solutions to metropolitan, state, regional, and national challenges – a voice we share through constructive policy analyses, expert testimony to government bodies, and through convening forums and conferences to facilitate solutions to complex policy matters.” – from the website
“Cascadia Report highlights business and politics from a regional perspective. Cascadia Report is an independent entity and isn’t affiliated with any regional or ideological groups.” – from the website
Fish Brewing Company has been hand-crafting ales of Northwest proportions since 1993.
“We want to spread the awareness of the unique nature of the Pacific Northwest, where people have always blazed their own trails. We hold that it is once again time to consider our commonwealth, to speak for a sustainable future.” – from the website
Kingdom of Cascadia (Micronation Project)
“The Kingdom of Cascadia is a sort of thought experiment, kind of a laboratory in which to try out various ideas for how a government ought to be structured (and whether one ought to exist at all). It’s also an excuse for designing a lot of flags.” – from the website
This website is run by Lyle Zapato, who operates a number of satirical websites. This one, however, features links to legitimate organizations devoted to Cascadian independence, although the “Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus” and “Sasquatch Miltia” logos link to his satirical sites.
Republic of Cascadia (The Bioregional Cooperative Commonwealth of Cascadia)
Contains detailed news and information about the region and its people.
“Sightline Institute is a not-for-profit research and communication center–a think tank–based in Seattle. Founded in 1993, Sightline’s mission is to make the Northwest a global model of sustainability–strong communities, a green economy, and a healthy environment.
It’s a slow-motion revolution, but it’s happening. Since 1993, we’ve equipped northwesterners with the research and tools they need to make progress on a range of solutions, from creating a fair, efficient system for slashing global warming pollution to banning toxic chemicals that have shown up in our food and our bodies to defeating ruinous land-use ballot measures across the Northwest.
Nonpartisan and wholly independent, Sightline’s only ideology is commitment to the shared values of community, fairness, responsibility, and opportunity.” – edited from the website
“Who belongs in the Pacific Northwest?”
The first in a series of articles produced by the University of Washington’s Center for the Study of the Pacific Northwest, all of which are worth reading.
