Have to chime in here. That photographer is LAZY and can't be bothered
to get the attribution. There's really no excuse in this age of
digital photography when we no longer pay for every frame we shoot.
All he has to do is take a clear photo of a tag or business card or

Yes, exactly. We have many Native American tribes in this area, and many
cities are named after them. Enumclaw, Puyallup, etc. Say EE-num-claw and
Pew-AL-up (that's pew as in a church, and Al, like the nickname for Allan).
It's a challenge for newcomers, but we natives take it all in stride!
