Morphology
Cascadian = Cascadia (transparent) = Cascadia + ian
Formed by adding the demonym/adjectival suffix '-ian' to the place name 'Cascadia', so the relation to the region/movement is direct and clear.
Etymology
Cascadian comes from the regional name Cascadia, which in turn comes from Cascade meaning 'waterfall', so a helpful way to remember it is to picture people who protect the rivers, forests and local life of that Pacific Northwest area; that's why Cascadian can mean someone who supports the Cascadia movement.
