The Northwest League of Professional Baseball is a minor league baseball league which operates in the northwestern United States and western Canada. The Northwest League (or the Northwestern League) has existed in various forms since 1901, and has been in its current incarnation since 1955.
The original six charter teams were the Salem Senators, Eugene Emeralds, Yakima Bears, Spokane Indians, Tri-City Braves, and the Lewiston (Idaho) Broncs. At the time of its 50th anniversary season in 2004, five of the six original cities were still in the league.
