No offense but I was raised in Vancouver, and we always wanted to make sure that people didn’t confuse us with Portlanders. Vancouver is its own city of close to 200,000 (only 39,000 in 1968 when I first moved there) The only time any news was reported on in Vancouver was if it could somehow benefit Portland as in Portland and Oregon good, Vancouver and Washington bad. They wouldn’t even broadcast our local HS sports scores on the nightly news.

I recall when Mt St. Helens blew all the news reports were coming from the Portland TV stations. People not familiar with the location stated to believe the Mt St. Helens was in Portland.

Again, no offense, it’s just a pet peeve of mine.

Vancouver, WA, is at the bottom of the state. Vancouver, BC, Canada, is at the top of state.

Maybe it was being so close to Portland that caused Herrera-Beutler to vote to impeach Trump.
