West Coast (United States of America)

The West Coast of the United States borders the Pacific Ocean and is made up of two parts:

California — The most populated state in the United States of America, and third largest by land area.
Pacific Northwest — Consists of the states of Oregon and Washington.

Although the states of Alaska and Hawaii also border the Pacific Ocean, the typical sense of the term does not cover them.
