No. Montreal has never been considered part of New England, while Vancouver is usually considered PNW to this day. Largely because Montreal speaks an entirely different language as its first language than New England does, whereas Vancouver and Seattle are not only linguistically similar but very culturally similar, too.
It doesn’t matter. Not only did the OP leave BC out of the equation, they even limited OR and WA to the western parts of the states. Probably to make the areas in question similar in size.
Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland often think of ourselves as a single region, and we even coordinate as a region sometimes on public policy and obviously infrastructure. Seattle-Vancouver is a strong connection in particular. And despite the logical issue we sometimes call the whole region the Pacific Northwest.

Cascadia=/=PNW.
Connecticut (and to a lesser extent MA) coordinates a ton with NYS but that doesn’t make NYS New England.
You're talking about how it should be. I'm talking about how the region is ACTUALLY referred to locally.
Cascadia is often used but I'd guess the average person doesn't use it much. There's no universal name for the region, so we use imperfect versions like PNW.

There are people who say Virginia is a Northern State and English is inbetween a Germanic and Romantic Language, and that Nor’easters need snow.
There is a word for those people, and that word is Incorrect
I consider Vancouver the PNW. My ex is from Vancouver and considers himself to be from the PNW.
But I also knew the thread wasn't referring to BC because this thread is in the "U.S. forum" and the OP clarified they were talking about two (actually one and a half) U.S. states in particular.
Vancouver is considered "The West Coast" of Canada. LOL.
However, Vancouver has doubled for Seattle in over 300 made for tv movies over the past 2-3 decades. Perhaps some pay too much attention to The Hallmark Channel.

Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire have strong ties to Quebec as well. What’s your point?
Heck, the names of Vermont and (maybe) Maine are French. It’s not like the residents of BC had much influence on the naming of Oregon and Washington. Lewiston has the largest French speaking population in the US.

Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland are linked by By Amtrack Cascades rail line. Vancouver is only a couple hours by car from Seattle. Portland is three hours by car from Seattle. Not at all like Boston to Quebec or Boston to Montreal.
