I quite like those. Thanks for putting so much effort into this part of the map and for trying a few different approaches! (I also live in the Pacific Northwest, so even if it's not the most important part of the map, it's fun discussing somewhere I know pretty well.)All right, here are two more updates.
The first option fixes the Oregon coast, to put Portland directly on the Pacific and with a proper shape for the Columbia River. (I highlighted the five tiles of new land, along with the new location of Mt. Rainier, as well as the new placement for Vancouver and Victoria.)

The second option goes back to the original version, and simply adds three tiles along the coast. It leaves the Columbia River flat, but it does add a Willamette River, along with a tile for the Olympic Peninsula and a Puget Sound. I prefer the one above, because it creates a bit more distance between Seattle and Portland, and permits both cities to be settled. However, if you want to limit the size of the PNW, this 'minimalist' version does the job.

Thoughts?
I think I prefer the first one as well, but what is being sacrificed for the extra tiles? Is somewhere else in North America smaller, or is the whole coast pushed north or south? Just want to be aware of how this affects the surrounding areas.
