WASHINGTON

Washington officially the State of Washington, is


a state in the Pacific Northwest region of
the Western United States. Named for George
Washington—the first U.S. president—the state was
formed from the western part of the Washington
Territory, which was ceded by the British Empire in
1846, in accordance with the Oregon Treaty in the
settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. The
state—which is bordered on the west by the Pacific
Ocean, Oregon to the south, Idaho to the east, and
the Canadian province of British Columbia to the
north—was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state
in 1889. Olympia is the state capital; the state's
largest city is Seattle. Washington is often referred
to as Washington state to distinguish it from the
nation's capital, Washington, D.C.
