I know this is a little off the subject, but why is it when someone from out side of the Northwest refers to it as Washington State, such as mentioned about our states apple crop. If you look at any map or even our state flag it is just Washington. You never hear someone say Iowa State or Illinois State, so why do we have to put the word state after Washington. As someone who works in the newspaper business, I am aware of the Associated Press style that many in the media use, refers to it as state to differentiate from the city on the east coast, but that city is Washington D.C. which is what all maps and everything else state. Sorry for my venting, but it just bothers many of us here in Washington.
