The state is popularly known as "The Evergreen State," due to the large fir and pine trees throughout the state. It borders Oregon to the south, Idaho to the east, the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is often called the "State of Washington" or "Washington State" to distinguish it from the U.S. capitol, Washington D.C.
