Which coast of north America is the leeward coast and which is the windward coast?

If you count the jet stream then the prevailing winds are from West to East making the
the West coast the windward side. (This is of course given that the assumption is made over a period of time.) Not taking into account the jet stream, there have been numerious times when the honor has floated between each coast for prevailing winds.
So the real question, does it really matter?

Windward and leeward side of a mountain?
The windward side of a mountain is typically the west side of the mountain, receiving the various weather as weather moves west to east. The leeward side of a mountain opposes the windward side, making it the east side of the mountain, receiving little weather, blocking weather (rain) and warming air rapidly as it moves down this side of the mountain. The leeward side of mountains causes deserts, dry places, little rain, etc., for it releases warm air unto these places, and blocks weather (rain) from moistening them (I.E. Las Vegas, etc. on the eastern side of the mountain ranges).
