I hereby nominate the famed electrical engineer Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington.
Washington State does not deserve the name Washington.
Didn’t they rename King county after MLK instead of the man it was named for originally? Perhaps they could find a different ‘Washington’ more amenable to modern progressive tastes
I hereby nominate the famed electrical engineer Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington.
Grover Washington, Jr.
Man that guy could play the sax!
Yes, King County was named after the VP(?) at the time of statehood - Rufus King or something. Thy emblem on all of the signs and stationary was a crown. I forget how many millions of dollars they spent to change those.
I nominate Booker T. Washington as the state’s namesake. Although he was a Republican so....
(It’s a brave new world!)
