Seattle, Washington is in King county, originally named after William King who was a Vice President under Pierce. Not too many years ago, they changed the person who the county was named after to Martin Luther King, so it remained King County.
Look for them to do the same with Washington. My guess would be: Booker T. Washington.
Personally, Id' vote for this Washington (second from the right):
if you are going to do something stupid you may as well go all the way.
