- Southwest Washington (Wikivoyage)
Southwest Washington is a lush, forested region of Washington State. This part of the state is along north bank of the Columbia River, from where it carves a gorge through the Cascade Mountains, past the busy communities opposite of Portland, to its wide mouth at the Pacific Ocean. Its stretch of coastline features extensive sandy beaches as well as sheltered wetlands, and its interior is covered in evergreen forest punctuated with prominent volcanic peaks.
