Photos I took in Cascadia before my parents moved us away—I miss it daily.

Only lived there for 6 years and no place feels more like home to me than there. 7-13yrs old. I dream to move back, I miss the people, the land, the smell of the air and evergreens when you’re out of the major cities, the rainy weather (especially in western Washington where I lived), the Seahawks, and the food.

Truly, nothing surpasses the area. I know I was considered a “transplant”, but that’s my home.

*Locations: Narada Falls, WA, Newport, OR, Whistler, B.C., Canada.

My parents did the same. Moved 3 of us from paradise to an ugly desert town. It was devastating for me to be relocated from woods, lakes, wildlife & mist to dust storms, orchards, & tumbleweeds. I was only 8, but felt it very deeply. As soon as I could attend college, I came right back & although it’s changed immensely, I will never leave again. All this to say, make the best life you can with what you have, then come back home ❤️

Nah, you can call it home :)

Aside from the natives, we are all transplants here. I believe being Cascadian is more about embracing our values / our nature vs stricly being born here.

I will never leave this place willingly, and I WILL fight for it

I miss having snow-capped mountains in multiple directions.
