| Introduction
The Interstate 5 highway (I-5) corridor, which stretchesfrom Mexico to Canada, is both the main economic artery of thePacific Northwest and home to the majority of Oregonians andWashingtonians. Accordingly, most regional utility and transportationsystems have major components located within the I-5corridor. For the purposes of this map, we refer to these essentialsystems as lifeline systems. The Pacific Northwest sectionof I-5, the I-5 urban corridor, extends from Eugene, Oregon, tothe border of Canada. The population of this region is rapidlyincreasing with the bulk of growth and economic developmentcentered in the cities of Eugene, Salem, and Portland, Oregon,and Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, Everett, and Bellingham, Washington. | Version 1.0
