The Pacific Northwest geography starts at the western edge of the land, where the land meets the Pacific Ocean. From there the land rises to the peak of the Cascade Mountains, then drops to the fertile valleys of central Oregon and Washington. East of that the land gets flatter, with occasional mountains such as the Wallowa's, until it finally runs up against the Rockies.

Does typhoons turn into hurricanes when they hit land?

No. A typhoon is essentially the same thing as a hurricane, the difference is where in the world they occur. A hurricane is a storm that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific. A typhoon is the same type of storm in the western Pacific. Making landfall does not make a difference. However, a hurricane that crosses into the western Pacific becomes a typhoon and a typhoon that crosses into the eastern Pacific becomes a hurricane, though this is less common.
