The Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company is an American telephone service provider. It operated in the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon and northern Idaho. As of the late 1990s, the Pacific Northwest Bell company was no longer used for business. Years earlier it was replaced by US West Communications. It does business as CenturyLink Communications (also called as LUMEN). There are talks, though, saying the company may be brought back sometime in the future.
