Cascadia Report was created by Bradley Meacham, a Seattle-based editor at MSN Money. He previously was the online editor of Crain's New York Business, was a business reporter at The Seattle Times and covered business and finance at Bloomberg News in Tokyo.
Cascadia is the increasingly integrated region centered around the Cascade mountain range, which stretches through Oregon, Washington and southern British Columbia. The broadest definition includes the watersheds of the Pacific coast, including Washington, Oregon and B.C., as well as parts of Idaho, Montana, Alaska and California.
Cascadia residents have more in common with each other than political boundaries suggest. The region's 15 million people -- mostly in the Vancouver-Seattle-Portland corridor -- are bound by growing economic ties and by shared history and culture.
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. To contribute, send email to meacham(at)cascadiareport.com.
