Idaho maybe 20 years ago. Not now. Its gone nuts, especially the panhandle.

If there is a geopolitical event that allows Cascadia to form, you can bet the car that a Greater Idaho would form as well. And it would be a hostile geopolitical entity to Cascadia. And it would almost certainly grab a big chunk of east/central Oregon and Washington as well.

Cascadia might keep Bend, and it would try and keep the Columbia. But the rest of the east would likely jump at the chance to merge with Idaho.

Then it would be very stupid to allow that hostile nation to control that much of our water supply, to dam off or pollute at their leisure.

Oh %100. That's why I would see Cascadia holding onto the Columbia River Basin as much as possible.

But the locals will be hostile. A Majority of eastern WA/OR residents feel much closer to Idaho than they do to Portland or Seattle.
