What is the "Northwest Interior"?

We talk about it a lot during wind events: "Higher wind speeds in the Northwest Interior".

This is generally the area from roughly Everett north to the Canadian border, and west to Port Townsend, including Whidbey, Camano and San Juan islands.

Other cities would be Anacortes, Bellingham, Mount Vernon, and Burlington.

This map below shows a rough outline of the Northwest Interior:
