The Western Cascades Lowlands and Valleys ecoregion is characterized by a network of steep ridges and narrow valleys. Elevations are generally less than 3,200 feet and are the lowest in Ecoregion 4. The wet, mild climate promotes lush forests that are dominated by Douglas-fir and western hemlock. It is one of the most important timber producing areas in the Northwest.
