There are 281 official cities and towns in the State of Washington, according to the Washington State Association of Cities, and every one of them has a unique story to tell. Some of them have hundreds of stories…others, perhaps just one major story. All of them have their own character, vibe, ambiance, and backstory, and many of them have weird, interesting or unusual ways they got their names. Why is there no University in University Place? What happened that earned one town the name Slaughter? And what exactly do people do in Humptulips? Fear not, my loyal listeners…all will be revealed in this Washington City Names episode of Washington Our Home.
