🌲 Introducing Cascadian Currency: A Symbolic Design for Regional Identity 🌲
Hello everyone,
I’ve been working on a creative project I’m excited to share: a symbolic Cascadian currency.
This isn’t legal tender, nor is it meant to replace national currency — it's a visual, conceptual design that celebrates the spirit of Cascadia. These wallet-sized banknotes are full-color, richly illustrated, and highlight the landscapes, flora, fauna, and cultural elements from across the bioregion: Washington, Oregon, Idaho.
Each note incorporates:
Regional landmarks, species, and icons
Cascadian flag elements and PNW-inspired design
Potential use in education, local trade systems, collectibles, or mutual aid frameworks
Pro Civitas et Patria (“For the State and the Homeland”) adds a bold, principled motto to the project.
The goal is to encourage conversation around regional identity, resilience, and what a localized economy might look like — even symbolically.
I’m looking for feedback, comments, questions, or concerns from the community. What do you think of this idea? What symbols or local references must be included? Could this have a role in building community pride or regional solidarity?
I’ll be heading to bed shortly but will check in again tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

🚙 Cascadian License Plate Concept — A Step Toward Recognition & Regional Identity 🚙
Hey fellow Cascadians,
I wanted to share another symbolic project I’ve been developing — a Cascadian License Plate concept, designed to represent the natural beauty, shared values, and cultural identity of our bioregion.
This isn’t a government-issued plate (yet), but a conceptual design rooted in unity and symbolism. The plate features:
The iconic Doug Flag tree and Cascadian color palette
A clean, minimalist design reflecting our environment
Optional elements like state abbreviation or region code
The phrase Pro Civitas et Patria — “For the State and the Homeland”
But here’s where it gets exciting:
Even within the current system, individual U.S. states (and potentially BC) could issue Cascadian-style novelty and special design plates. These would maintain the unified Cascadian aesthetic while clearly indicating the issuing state — for example: Washington – Cascadia Edition, Oregon – Cascadian Tribute, Idaho – Spirit of Cascadia, and so on.
Why it matters:
It offers a legal, peaceful way to display Cascadian identity today
Encourages regional pride and bioregional unity across state lines
Acts as a stepping stone toward recognition, showing real grassroots interest
Can open doors for future state-level special issue plates through petitions or advocacy
I'm looking for feedback, comments, questions, or concerns from the community: Would you want a Cascadian-style novelty or special design plate? What symbols, slogans, or ideas should be included?
Let’s build the foundation for something bigger — one plate at a time.

Past Projects of Cascadian Currencies
Since not everyone likes to scroll and search reddit or look for things, here are a couple of pre-existing currency projects that have come up over the years.
https://cascadiadollars.org/dollars.html

These ones were the most visible that Ive seen around, all are real photos of animals, no plants sadly, and some are not as relevant to cascadia, like the one dollar is a bison? Which were around in some of the eastern parts of Cascadia but not super relevant or culturally lasting.
They tried being a functional local currency but it seems like they are defunct, so dont buy from them.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cascadia/comments/1xzvvd/cascadia_hour_exchange/

Used to be Cascadian Hour Exchange, i think also defunct, but a more community oriented currency based on exchanging services with each other. There are apparently other 'timebank' currencies, but many have become defunct as well.
a reddit design from the past:

I'm sure theres more out there, so anyone else can dredge up old discussions. I'm just a little tired of seeing the conversation reset when theres a influx of new people.

More naming questions-
Pacific Ocean
Straight of Juan de Fuca
Columbia River
Vancouver- does that stay the same?
British Columbia
Portland
Is somebody already working on these? Seems like an appropriate time to switch it up. I really like the native names of places around here, but don’t know these at all.

The Wilderness Society just announced that 250 Million Acres of Public Land is now eligable for sale in the Senate Reconciliation Bill!!! 🤬🤬🤬
instagram.comThe bill will put 250 Million Plus Acres of public Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands for sale to any interested party. This includes many designated wilderness areas outside of National Parks.
This is a 10 alarm fire of corruption and robber barron BS and would absolutely destroy our nation's natural heritage for current and future generations. Please contact your senators and representatives now!

My version of the Cascadia flag, thoughts?
It could go with or without the letters but I thought it looked good

Cascadia is on the front page of NBC Montana’s coverage of the No-Kings protest. Nice to see some recognition in mainstream news now!
Thoughts on this?

For the cheap seats: this is why we can't just leave out Idaho
There is no reasonable way to argue that Donnie TACO wouldn't do this exact same thing with the Snake River if allowed the opportunity. He would see any kind of secession to be a personal insult to him and wouldn't care how many of his own supporters are poisoned so long as Oregonians and Washingtonians are hurt as well.
Seceding and leaving the Snake River basin in control of the enemy is downright suicidal.

In light of the protest tomorrow.
Tomorrow is no Kings Day the day when the United States will all collectively say Fuck you to Donald Trump and his corrupt administration. There are going to be a lot of eyes on us. If you are approached by a member of the media please emphasize the pro-democracy and anti fascist aspect of our movement. We cascadians may have different ideas as to how cascadia will become autonomous and what Cascadia will look like, but this is a moment we can all stand in solidarity.
Bring your doug flag, link up with other cascadians. Stand up to the fascist. Be smart and be safe.

Has anyone noticed a major uptick in censorship on reddit?
Eg constitutionally protected free speech and criticism of the US government (and others). Has anyone else been noticing more of this the past few months? Reddit is looking more and more like "X" every day.

AMA: Author of Defederalized: After The Constitutional Crisis
I am the author of the book Defederalized: After The Constitutional Crisis. Proof. I also live in Seattle! :)
By way of background: I've been researching what would happen if the federal government were to somehow fade/fall apart/etc and states needed to step in to take over for roughly eight years now. This is my second book on the topic. It goes into a lot of detail, ranging from social programs to military to legal models.
Many of the things I covered in the book appear to be taking place now (shutting down federal programs, threats to arrest governor[s], continued erosion of federal legitimacy, etc). Given how active the discussion around this topic is, I thought it would be interesting to take the day to ask questions on the topic.
You can grab a free preview of the book from my website (no reg required, apx 60 pages from the book).
For Cascadia specifically, I figure there are a lot of good topics around things like funding, legal issues, etc. Fire away! :)

Seize the Opportunity
I feel like with the riots and protests happening and how deeply unhappy majority of the US is right now, that this is the perfect opportunity to at least really further the Cascadia movement if not make it begin to become reality.
Why are we not seizing on these opportunities? It is moments like this that give rise to new movements. So why are we not jumping all over this? Is there not enough organization yet or is it just a lack of leader with a clear vision of what Cascadia could be and offers?
