Why not just Snoqualmie Pass?

Is there any good reason for the "(Washington)"? Perhaps ", Washington" would be reasonable, but both are equally useless -- White Pass (Washington) makes sense, as there is at least one other White Pass in existence. But what, are we worried about confusion with Snoqualmie Pass (Oregon)? This name merely leads to unneccesary and excessive redirects. Anyone object to this page being moved to simply Snoqualmie Pass? (And anyone feel like doing it since there are going to be god knows how many double-redirects?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Mrhyak 02:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is Snoqualmie Pass (Oregon)? Does it warrant an article, or is there much chance there could be one in the future? ForrestCroce 22:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, there is no Snoqualmie Pass in Oregon. I believe he was just being sarcastic meaning there is no need for the (Washington) after SP since there is only one. Snoqualmie the name comes from the Indian tribe I believe. There is the town of Snoqualmie, then the famous Snoquamie Falls, Snoqualmie Pass and the Snoqualmie Indians. Did I miss anything?

Snoqualmie River and its forks, Snoqualmie Mountain, Snoqualmie Lake, Snoqualmie Tunnel, Snoqualmie Summit Ski Area, Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, all in King County, plus, oddly, Snoqualmie Gulch in Tehama County, CA. Pfly 07:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per the request at WP:RM#Uncontroversial moves, I've moved the article. Cheers. -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like nobody would argue with this ... but now I'm curious about Snoqualmie Pass in Oregon - does anybody know where this is? ForrestCroce 03:11, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't one. The only Snoqualmie Pass—or for that matter, the only name with Snoqualmie in it—is in Washington. See topozone search for Snoqualmie. Oh look, GNIS has Snoqualmie Gulch in California [1]. —EncMstr 03:38, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Distinguishing pass from CDP

Why not have one article for the CDP that describes the town and ski resorts, etc., and another article that describes the mountain pass, its history, significance, and its future improvements, similar to Stevens Pass or White Pass (Washington)?

I suggest the CDP article should remain "Snoqualmie Pass, Washington", and the mountain pass article should be "Snoqualmie Pass" with an {{about}} tag at the top redirecting those interested in the CDP to "Snoqualmie Pass, Washington". Kuyabribri (talk) 05:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kittitas - King County?

This article only notes Kittitas County as being where Snoqualmie Pass resides, but it is split between King County (west side) and Kittitas County (east side). Alpental and Summit West reside in King while the east side of West, Central and East (Hyak) all reside in Kittitas Co. There needs to be a way to add both Counties to the article to be more accurate. Mrhyak (talk) 00:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
