The Cascadian Prep Manifesto

  • It is NOT about money, nor about those with a substantial amount of it or those who pretend to have a substantial amount of it, and it does not exclude, necessarily, those without a substantial amount of it.
  • It is NOT about wearing a brand or possessing a wardrobe in which the intention is to feel superior to another.
  • It is NOT trendy, yet it may have a style which appears/reappears as a revolving fashion trend.
  • It is NOT a place or an institution, yet it respects and pays tribute to its origins.
  • It is a mindset and a lifestyle, steeped in American and Northwestern traditions.
  • It is quiet confidence.
  • It is a world view seen through an ever-positive lens.
  • Membership will be granted only to those who honor and respect all that Cascadia has to offer.
