The '''Left Coast''' is a humorous [[conservative]] [[double entendre]] term for the West Coast of the United States. The term refers to both its placement on a map (the West Coast is on the left side, bordering the Pacific Ocean) and its [[liberal]] politics (traditionally liberal politics are called "left-wing", the term actually originating in France and comes from the seating of liberal parties in the legislative chamber).

The term generally refers to [[California]], [[Oregon]], and [[Washington]], since they lie along the West Coast and are among the most liberal states. [[Hawaii]] is also considered part of the Left Coast as it is very liberal. Though Alaska also borders the Pacific, it is a relatively conservative state.
