I was watching a video on YouTube where a guy says he's "from the West Coast....Arizona." It seemed odd to me, since I consider Arizona in the Southwest. Then I realized I subconsciously bundle Nevada with the West Coast even though it doesn't have a coastline either.

There's an argument to be made that both states are far more enmeshed with California than with New Mexico/Texas, but obviously neither have a Pacific coastline.

No. They're southwest. Coast requires a coast.
According to some freaky conspiracy/dystopian/apocalyptic stuff, they might eventually be west coast.
Maybe the dude was from the distant future.

agree that they are not on the coast but when the west coast is mentioned, they do come to mind.

I grew up in Arizona and I've never heard anyone refer to it as West Coast.

I will say that I could see an argument for Nevada simply due to its time zone placement. In an off-handed way, West Coast sometimes gets conflated with PST just as East Coast and EST are. But in general I definitely don’t think of either as being West Coast.

Yep. same as Pennsylvania or Vermont.

The main population centers (Maricopa Countyand Clark County)of both states are sort of extensions of Southern California from my east coast POV. Obviously, Maricopa is more vintage California with the more republican slant...

But yea that's west coast to me. Vegas is closer to the coast that much of PA and NY....

When U say west coast I mean CA OR WA NV AZ
