The '''Northwest League''' is a [[Minor League Baseball]] league that operates in the [[Pacific Northwest|Northwestern]] [[United States]] and [[Western Canada]]. A [[Class A Short Season]] league for most of its history, the league was promoted to [[High-A]] as part of [[Major League Baseball]]'s 2021 reorganization of the minor leagues. The league operated as the '''High-A West''' in 2021, then resumed its original moniker in 2022.
