Good point , the Coast Starlight Amtrak route is listed, but not a single ferry route. Some individual WSF routes exceed the Amtrak ridership by at least an order of magnitude: the Bainbridge Island-Seattle for example has millions of riders. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:49, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is the Greater Vancouver area more appropriately called the Greater Vancouver BC area?
The PNW has a small city, Vancouver WA, directly north of Portland, OR, which is often considered part of the Greater Portland area. Directly north of the northern WA state border is the Greater Vancouver area, which includes Vancouver, British Columbia. In the US part of the PNW, the Canadian Vancouver is typically called Vancouver BC, while the American Vancouver is simply called Vancouver. However, I do not know if this is common convention in Canada. If it is, the Greater Vancouver area may be more appropriately called the Greater Vancouver BC area to avoid ambiguity as to which Vancouver hold geographic significance to the PNW. Thoughts?

As someone from outside North America, I was surprised to learn that the Pacific Northwest designation is used for what is actually the Pacific Northeast ( the northeast coast of the Pacific Ocean). I understand the designation makes sense from a local continental USA perspective and I am not saying the intro is not clear. But I think it would be good to point out this contradiction at the beginning of the article to make it more obvious for those to arrive from outside the USA. 69.172.153.217 (talk) 00:58, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
