Talk:List of towns in Washington

Untitled
There's a lot more town in Washington State than this. Someone should just pull a list of 'town with greater than 5,000' people from an almanac. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mysteriousinventors (talk • contribs) 21:52, 23 December 2005‎


 * Response: In Washington State, there is a difference between a town, a first class city, a second class city, and a charter city. I think this entry is referring to locales with a township form of government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jestapher (talk • contribs) 23:33, 15 December 2009‎

Rainier, Washington
Rainier is a code city, according to the Municipal Research and Services Center and the lady answering the phone at the city. I'm unable to find this documented online though. There was a referendum in 2000 on becoming a code city, which apparantly lost.

 * I have been researching this for days, looking for official confirmation of the status of Rainier, Washington as a city, and everything I have found confirms this to be the case. Like you, I found the MRSC site, which the [state website uses to catalog info about cities and towns. I too called the office and was informed that it is City of Rainier, and this was also confirmed on the [official webpage]. While the 2000 Census gives Rainier as a town, the change to a "code city" apparently happened soon after. The status of "City of Rainier" is also confirmed by numerous official state documents, like reports from the State Auditor's Office, the Office of Financial Management, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Ecology, etc., and any number of documents on the Thurston County website. To this end, I am removing Rainier, Washington from List of towns in Washington and adding it to List of cities in Washington]]. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:16, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
