Okanogan Country
I am wondering why okanogan COUNTRY redirects to okanogan COUNTY? Okanogan country is a general region that includes not only okanogan county but also Ferry County, the southern okanogan highlands of british columbia and small parts Douglas and grant Counties. It would seem that okanogan Country is a distinct entity from o. county Kevmin 22:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting; I wasn't aware that "Okanogan Country" was current stateside; note teh creation of a georegion cat, so far used only in B C - Category:Okanagan Country, which I just added "see also Okanogan County" to; and vice versa on the Okanogan County catpage. Could you come up with a rough map of the American part of the Okanagan Country?  And maybe Okanogan County should be a subcat of teh Category:Okanagan Country, though then I'd ahve to find a anme to specify the Canadian-side half of it (Category:Okanagan is a possibility, as "Okanagan Country" in BC is admittedly a bit old-fashioned sounding in terms of how people usually refer to the region).Skookum1 (talk) 15:57, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Namesake
If Okanogan County is indeed named for a man, it is likely this guy:

3rd?
I created the link after reading it on an official Washington Website but I've notice two counties in California and Aroostook in Maine are bigger and I haven't even checked NV or AZ.

Okanogan County is the 54 th largest county in the lower 48. (TM)

"Deserts" - names?
Osoyoos, BC, makes much of its claim to be "Canada's only desert", as if other parts of BC weren't also desrt-like. The authors of Nk'mip Desert are pretty single-minded; that's not a name anyone else uses but is part of a branding effort by the Nk'mip Winery/Resort....I've heard "South Okanagan Desert" but if the "desert" extends into Washington (as surely it must), maybe Okanagan Desert/Okanogan Desert is preferable; if anyone in Washington even defines the region as a desert. At their most conceited, Osoyoos boosters will claim it's the northward limit of the Sonoran Desert, which betrays their complete lack of geographical awareness. Anyone here have notes on the ecology/environment/biome of the US Okanogan?Skookum1 (talk) 16:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Loomis link here is wrong
It links to a former town in Pacific County, Washington, also named Loomis. Apparently all towns and cities in Okanogan County link to the wrong Loomis! The irony is that Okanogan County's Loomis still exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trobster (talk • contribs) 06:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Area comparison
A user appears to believe that total area is more relevant than land area when discussing comparisons of Okanogan County's size with particular states. Since Okanogan County is landlocked, using total area in its comparison to Connecticut is misleading, since Connecticut's total area includes coastal / territorial waters: see List of U.S. states and territories by area. Other opinions? — Myasuda (talk) 22:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

The maps on Wikipedia for Pierce County (or any western wa cities that I've seen, for that matter) don't display Pierce and Thurston Counties correctly. In fact, this entry for Pierce County prominently highlights a political boundary that does not exist.

 * It's because the southern reaches of Puget Sound are missing. The boundaries are fine--but water is missing. --Lukobe 05:11, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Charter Amendment One (Pierce County, 2008)
Some enterprising soul has written a lengthy article on this local government ordinance. It doesn't pass notability in its own right, but the contents deserve to be preserved here. Hence I've merge tagged it. Perhaps someone with local knowledge or interest could rectify the situation. Please contact me if I can be of any assistance. Manning (talk) 04:13, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The voter initiative actually amended the county charter, not an ordinance. Pierce county is one of three major counties in the Seattle Metro area.  It is definitely noteworthy enough to keep.  The article was categorized as a PAC.  I removed that classification.  kgrr  talk 08:32, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Voted for Bush/Kerry in which election?
In the opening blurb it talks about percentages in voting precincts that voted for Bush or Kerry. I assume this refers to the 2004 election, but that should really be stated explicitly. --Animatorgeek 01:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you know of any other election involving Bush/Kerry? And is that honestly the question you have about that? How about this -- why is that even in the article to begin with? -- 12.116.162.162 20:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

area vs land area
Not only Wahkiakum but also Island and Kitsap counties are smaller than San Juan in total area, but because San Juan County has so much water area it is indeed the smallest Washington County in land area. Of course, San Juan County wouldn't be itself (and probably wouldn't be a county) if it weren't for all that water area...--Haruo 16:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

2004 2006 voting patterns
This county is usually even more liberal than the famously liberal King County, but does not have the reputation King County does because its population is so much smaller, and therefore its effect on elections much weaker. The only area of the County won by George W. Bush in 2004 was the Decatur Island/Blakely Island precinct, with just over 50 votes. Waldron Island's precinct voted 96.5% of the vote to John Kerry. In 2006, Maria Cantwell, the Democrat running for re-election to the U.S. Senate, won all precincts.[4]

I don't think that this is appropriate content. Update actual voting statistics, if you think them relevant, but delete "usually even more liberal," unless you are going to cite and define "liberal." 207.118.24.74 (talk) 22:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree. Statistics are approrpiate; characterization is not. And same for "famously liberal King County." 75.121.163.230 (talk) 20:53, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

San Juan Islands / County
is that the same? Or has the county areas on the mainland or are there islands that are not part of the county? --Eingangskontrolle (talk) 19:25, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Waldron and "Poverty"
Suggesting that Waldron is "impoverished" is beyond misleading. This is an island that has voted not to have telephone landline or electricity service and is very much a non-cash economy. Using reported cash income as a guide is meaningless. Avocats (talk) 20:59, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
