That would put the 48th hypothetical border at the northern point of Everett Wash., a northern suburb of Seattle. Somewhere around a million people live between there and the Canadian border. If this territory were part of Canada, that population would be higher as an extension of the Lower Mainland, increasing the flat land area by more than 50%; this would be more valuable to Canada than it is to the US as a population draw. This might have added 2 to 3 million in additional population to the Vancouver area.
