The Diocese of Cascadia is a founding diocese of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), created in June 2009. It encompasses 25 congregations.[2] The name Cascadia was chosen because the Cascade Range is a prominent geographical feature of the region.[3]

The diocese encompasses the states of Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. The state with most congregations is Washington, with 17, followed by Oregon, with 5, and Alaska, with one. The main church was St. Brendan's Anglican Church in Bellingham, Washington, until the move of St. Charles Anglican Church to Bremerton, Washington, which was consecrated as the diocesan cathedral on 2 March 2019.[4][5]
