The Pacific Northwest is home to many cities such as Seattle and Portland, but surprisingly there are no major cities along the coasts of either Oregon or Washington. This makes this region the LONGEST stretch of ocean coastline without any major or even medium sized city within the contiguous United States. And this is largely because of the region's unique physical geography which influenced both the historic developments along the coast as well as modern infrastructure.
In this video, we'll cover the incredible and complicated physical geography of the Oregon and Washington coast. Then we'll dive into the history of Indigenous and European settlements along the Pacific Northwest coastline and how they've adapted and struggled over the centuries. Finally, we'll figure out exactly what prohibits larger cities from establishing a permanent foothold on one of America's longest stretches of coastline with no major cities.
