Several sources found on the internet, among them the Hawaii state tourist board, Yahoo, and the US States Almanac, all agree that Hawaii is the widest state on an east-west axis. However, as the global divisional point between east and west is 180° longitude. And that Alaska spans across the 180° longitude line; if you are to measure FROM the "eastern" most point of Alaska (at 180° longitude) TO the "western" most point of Alaska (also at 180° longitude) at approximate the 50th parallel; then you have a measurement of approximated 17,000 miles -- clearly making Alaska the widest state as measured FROM east TO west.
