Definitely some very conservative and very scary pockets of the PNW. Oregon pretty much is a red state except for its northwestern slice. Maybe start by balkanizing along municipal lines, federating the municipalities, and then trying to go from there?
I do worry that in the event of balkanization the remnants of the federal government would start a narrative that the PNW has become China- or Russia-controlled and use that as an excuse for military intervention. This is why, frankly, the right could be a valuable resource to leftists who want to balkanize. MAGA chud types hate liberal western areas and would probably be on board to kick them out. They may also be less interested in trying to take them back. On the other hand, Biden, Pelosi, and similar types would happily roll tanks into Portland or Seattle if it meant keeping senate seats.
Last thought - is there room for cooperation in this space with indigenous people who want their land back and increased sovereignty? To be honest, I know very little about IP politics, but this seems like an area of shared interest.

They'd do it just for fun because they're blue republicans. There's no difference between red fascism and blue fascism, both parties in the US fucking suck.
