George Washington was named after Washington State

This is true. A lot of people want to point out that I'm wrong and that Washington was actually "named after the city Washington D.C." but those people are the wrongest. A few other names his parents were thinking of naming him:

• Seattle
• Tacoma
• Salmon
• Starbuck
• The Gorge at George
• The Apple Cup
• Evergreen
• Soundgarden
• Pearl Jam
• Smells Like Teen Spirit

George Washington's parents loved the Pacific NorthWest.
