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

Rather than Oregon having no sales tax and Washington having no income tax, they’ll create a patchwork of no-tax neighborhoods to spread the love more evenly.

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

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