Cascadia Foreign Policy

Mission

The Mission of Cascadia Foreign Policy is to elevate the voice of the Pacific Northwest in foreign policy decisions and national security investments.

Vision

A Pacific Northwest that prospers because foreign policy decisions align with regional interests and values, creating tangible benefits for our communities.

Core Themes and Values

Openness and Innovation: The Pacific Northwest is forward-looking and welcoming, valuing global connections over isolation.
Foreign Policy for Everyday Impact: Aligning with the Foreign Policy for the Middle Class framework, we ensure our diplomatic and security policies concretely improve lives across the Pacific Northwest.
Geographic Relevance: Our region’s proximity to Canada and our Pacific-Asia connections uniquely position us to influence policies differently from traditional East Coast power centers.
Balanced Approach: We cherish free markets and entrepreneurship alongside robust public services and collective solidarity.
Environmental Stewardship: Our commitment to preserving the beauty and health of our shared mountains, oceans, islands, rivers, farmlands, and forests guides our policy choices.
