VANCOUVER, Wash. — A campaign to change the name of Vancouver to Fort Vancouver is gaining support.
VANCOUVER, Wash. — A campaign to change the name of Vancouver to Fort Vancouver is gaining support.
The Vancouver Columbian reports today's election could put a majority on the city council in favor of sending the proposal to voters.
Supporters of the name change say it would avoid the long-running confusion with Vancouver, British Columbia.
Opponents include Mayor Royce Pollard, who says there are no other Vancouvers in the United States.
