And like I said, some of those on the Lower Fraser - and possibly some of those on our Interior lakes - came from/via the States originally (well, as did nearly everything until the CPR got punched through, ecept what came around the Horn or via the Orient...

My goals in offering to do translations are to improve my Spanish writing abilities and also to help out Knowledge, which has been an extremely helpful resource for me in the past. -johnnyrussell (~~~~) 308:, a sardine-oil processing operation that was an important landmark (and also which took in refugees from our Great Fire). So the title could be "ships" and I think the BC "steamboat" titles could be ajudsted (there were more than steamboats on both routes, for example). Whatever; it's all only just a suggestion. 465:
Surprisingly it is a red link despite nearly every other US city in existence having a Knowledge article.

One of my PNW source books, "The Great Columbia Plain", has some info on the various vessels that once plied the Columbia in the US above the Snake River (before the dam building era blocked the river up pretty well). I'll try to find time to look into it! There is some interesting stuff about old

Howdy neighbors--I'm working on this article created by someone apparently involved with the port authority. My question is, do y'all refer to yourself in articles as "Washington" or "Washington State"? I'm inclined to leave out "State" as redundant (one can click on "Washington" to see what is

Ah yes, forgive me for forgetting about WSU. I use the "U.S. state" thing even with Oregon if it's too awkward to get an "American" or "United States" in the intro somewhere. In the port article it said that "Washington State" enacted laws, so I changed it to "state of Washington", to lessen
