Actually it would be a good idea to remove Washington and Oregon (really, Northern California all the way to the Canadian border) from the American defense perimeter.
Bad idea. We would lose our ocean access -- we need at least ONE of those states.

No, we get the ocean access through Central and Souv'rn California. We will also make an acquisition of totally vacant territory where those states previously stood after the North Koreans get done with them.
All we have to do is build a big fence and shoot them down at the border if they try to flee into our country!
