Ditto. Although I lean a bit toward excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska is, in a sense, "North Coast." It borders the Arctic Ocean too. Hawaii is a series of islands. Still I could see including those two.

CA, WA, OR, maaaaaaybe Nevada. Many more are "west" but coast means coast and that is that. For some reason I would never think Alaska or Hawaii as west coast when I guess they technically are as west coast as you can get.

California, Washington, and Oregon. If we're talking about cultural spheres, then Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho would be thrown in. Alaska and Hawaii should only be included as technicalities.

We are. It would be pointless to make a poll asking "what states touch the ocean?".

I think of California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada.
How do you figure Arizona and Nevada to be west "coast" when neither one of them has a coastline? Do you understand the definition of "coast"? Let me tell ya, when you're out in the blazing Arizona or Nevada desert with no ocean for hundreds of miles, and no cool sea breeze to cool you off, you'll realize what a ridiculous statement you just made.

Yeah and Vermont and Pennsylvania aren't east coast cities because they don't touch the Atlantic. Nonsense.
