Is/would geothermal energy be beneficial for the Pacific Northwest? If so, how/ why?
I'm not sure but I found a couple websites and I think they said geothermal energy is already used in the PNW but I need to know how and why it's so convient for the PNW.

Areas that have naturally occurring hot springs are indicative of volcanic activity close to the surface.
Ironically, if the geyser called "Old Faithful" was not a tourist attraction on a protected site, it would be an excellent place to construct a geothermal power plant.

In February 1968, the rumors became reality: An ARCO drilling rig has struck oil -- lots of oil -- on Alaska's remote North Slope. Jack Roderick's story of oil and politics in Alaska reads like a novel as he tells of the risky, expensive, and mostly frustrating search for oil across the Northland.
