Make a note of it, Seattle. That's what you are:

OLYMPIA — The Washington State Board on Geographic Names today approved a proposal to use ‘Salish Sea’ as the collective name for the body of water that includes Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Georgia Strait.

God I love a Board on Geographic Names. Actually, what I really love is the United States Board on Geographic Names, which I first encountered during the great squaw debate in Oregon. This mighty federal board weighs important matters such as whether to change the name of, say, Oregon's Squaw Creek, or Yellowstone's Chinaman Spring, or Florida's Jewfish Creek. It is my dream to one day sit on this board.
