Welcome to the year 2000.
When I hear about Cascadia, it always reminds me of Bioshock.

Cascadia sounds like a wonderful idea. I'd probably want to move there.
That looked like an interesting article, unfortunately Time's web format is utter shit. I was pretty much done reading the paragraph or two of content that they managed to squeeze in between all the other shit by the time the page finally finished loading, and I couldn't bring myself to click "next" eight more times to read the rest of article a few sentences at a time. Was there anything else interesting in it?
