Cascadia Flag

The Cascadia Doug Flag stands as a vibrant emblem of the Cascadia movement, a call to action for those passionate about preserving the rich biodiversity and fostering a sense of community across our remarkable bioregion. Designed in 1994 by Portland native Alexander Baretich, the flag embodies the essence of the Pacific Northwest through its thoughtful use of color and imagery.

The flag’s deep blue represents the expansive sky and the Pacific Ocean, along with the Salish Sea, lakes, and the myriad of inland waters that define our landscape. It speaks to the cycle of cascading waters that journey from the Pacific, through the western slopes of the Rockies and Cascades, and back again. The white band captures the pristine snow and clouds that adorn our mountains, while the lush green reflects the endless evergreen forests and fields that carpet the region. At its heart, the Douglas Fir stands tall – a symbol of endurance, defiance, and resilience, mirroring the spirit of the Cascadian people.

The Cascadia Doug Flag is not just a flag; it’s a symbol for our home and movement. It’s a banner under which we rally to protect our environment, improve our livelihoods, and contribute to making the world a better place. As a grassroots, people-powered brand, it encourages communities, businesses, organizations, and individuals to adopt and adapt it, fostering a shared identity centered around our common values and principles outlined in the Theory of Change.

By purchasing and displaying the Cascadia Doug Flag, you not only show your support for the Cascadia movement but also join a broader community committed to ecological stewardship and regional pride. This flag is an invitation to celebrate our unique identity, promote environmental awareness, and participate actively in shaping a sustainable and inclusive future for all who call the Pacific Northwest home.

Let the Cascadia Doug Flag be a reminder of our collective resilience and the beauty of the Cascadia bioregion. Together, we are Cascadian, and together, we embody the Cascadia movement.
