Perhaps we could split off the coastals, and call the new state

There was a book written back in 81 called "The Nine Nations of North America", Joel Garreau (the writer) call tne coastal strip from the border up through Alaska ecotopia.

As an aside even though it was written 21 years ago it still provides some good insights to our country.
