The '''Pacific Northwest''' (often acronymized to '''PNW''') is a ''Smash'' region in the United States. The PNW generally refers to the states of Oregon, Washington (which is typically further split into Eastern Washington and Western Washington due to the difficulty of travelling across the state) and the province of British Columbia (BC). Additional regions like Idaho may occasionally be grouped in, but in most cases the region is exclusively the coastal states and provinces. | The '''Pacific Northwest''' (often acronymized to '''PNW''') is a ''Smash'' region in the United States.

The Pacific Northwest harbors one of the most active ''[[Smash Ultimate]]'' scenes in the United States, as well as one of the most active [[P+]] scenes. The scene is most populous in Western Washington, where attendance count for locals such as {{Trn|Orbitar}} are remarkably high and - in the case an attendance cap is needed - reach capacity quickly. However, the region has struggled to obtain mainstream relevancy on the same level as other regions due to a number of factors, from geographic isolation to other regions scheduling larger events over the PNW's own. Despite this, very strong players for all ''Smash'' games have come out of the region, including {{Sm|SilentWolf}}, {{Sm|Bladewise}}, {{Sm|Ka-Master}}, {{Sm|moxi}}, {{Sm|Big D}}, and {{Sm|Pikmon}}. | The Pacific Northwest harbors one of the most active ''[[Smash Ultimate]]'' scenes in the United States, as well as one of the most active [[P+]] scenes.
