Northwest Region Research

Wikipedia (read the first paragraph to find out which states are included in this region) There's a lot of good information here, but you need to read the section heading to decide which parts you need to read more. There are good sections on climate, economy, and landforms (they call that "Geography").

What is the Northwest? This one also identifies which states can be included in this region. (Hint: There are really two major US states included, but a couple others sometimes get included as well.) Since we are just studying the US, don't worry about the Canadian province that is also part of this region.
