Pacific rhododendrons are found along the Pacific Coast from British Columbia to Monterey County in California. Broadly distributed in the Coast and Cascade Mountain Ranges, they are less abundant in the Coastal Mountains of Washington and northern Oregon and more common south of the Siuslaw River.This species, like many rhododendrons, thrives in disturbed habitats such as roadside embankments and recently deforested wildlands. They grow in a forest in Oregon that was burnt over just three years before.. The rhododendrons in that area, both Pacific Rhododendrons and Western Azaleas, are already regrowing and blooming from the unburnt roots.
