I could see the area between Seattle and Portland coalescing into an effectively single polity too, Tenochtitlan - Texcoco style.

Milwaukee merging with Chicago is more likely, but still not likely.

I could see that. The Minneapolis-Milwaukee-Madison-Chicago megalopolis is already kind of a thing.

IDK they are kinda far and it’s pretty rural in between. It’s not like the eastern seaboard.
