I was kinda surprised by what estuarine, bayside, and soundside cities in WA and OR were included or excluded, and yet no such cities in CA were included. For instance, Hoquaim was included, but not Aberdeen. Several Puget Sound municipalities were included, but despite having an actual port that has ocean-going ships taking logs to Asia, Olympia was not. Bainbridge Island, yes. Bremerton, no.

Yeah I went by the boundary files per the directions. Also if a place is unincorporated it’s generally not included on my city quizzes… not sure if that applies to the ones you are thinking of.

That’s actually the centroid of the city as it has a lot of water area…I use a land based coordinate on most quizzes however.
