Just a geographical note, it is the Cascade Range that divides the Archdiocese of Portland and the Diocese of Baker in Oregon, not the Coast Range, as written in the article. The Oregon Coast Range is wholly within the Archdiocese of Portland.

I'm grateful to find this information albeit 7 months late (I didn't discover The Pillar until last week). The Archbishop of Seattle recently revealed the next detail of his sweeping plan for the Archdiocese: Closing about 2/3 of the Archdiocese's parish churches and missions by 2027. There are 174 parishes now, he plans to consolidate that to 53. I'm trying to make sense of what is happening, and looking for information on this kind of Church merger/consolidation/downsizing is a challenge. Thank you for providing the data in this article.
