Quick link for identifying
I'm going to discuss using URLs to refine searches, and make a useful link for myself at the same time.
I like to identify species in my immediate region, which I define as the west side of the Cascade Mountains out to the water. This includes several counties/regional districts in Washington and British Columbia. There isn't a simple place defined for this area that I can search, but I can search it by combining place IDs in the URL!
British Columbia:
49142 - Comox-Strathcona
27532 - Nanaimo
49143 - Cowichan Valley
27521 - Alberni-Clayoquot
49140 - Victoria/Capital
49146- Powell River
27539 - Sunshine Coast
27530 - Greater Vancouver
27528 - Fraser Valley
Washington:
1730 - Whatcom
1236 - Skagit
410 - Snohomish
1378 - San Juan
2998 - Island
1076 - Clallam
1497 - Jefferson
1231 - Kitsap
That link includes not quite all of Vancouver Island, most of the Salish Sea, the northernmost parts of the Olympic Peninsula, and does not include King County (which just throws everything off as far as I'm concerned).
I might come back and amend this later.

The 'Place' box will say [Powell River, CA, BC] but it does include all the areas listed above

For exploring rather than Identify
This is the most useful area for me. Greater Vancouver & Fraser Valley, Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, Island.
Once you go west into Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and San Juan Islands, the species change a bit. I am sticking to the mainland areas.
