Seattle Named After Slave Owner

And the state in which Seattle is situated, is named after a slave owner.

So, we should expect both places to be renamed sometime soon, and while Trump is president, because, after Trump is out of office, it won't be an issue and nobody will care any more.

Or that Washington state’s largest county was originally named after Rufus King, who was the 13th vice president of the United States, a slave owner, and never stepped foot in the state.
