Comments sought on naming proposals

A pair of proposals are before the Washington State Committee on Geographic Names regarding sites in Spokane County - one to name Pinecroft Peak, located near Trentwood, and the other to name Arturdee Creek, near Liberty Lake.

The committee is seeking public comment on the proposals, which will be up for final consideration at the committee’s next meeting, May 30, 2019. Further information about the proposals can be found online at https://www.dnr.wa.gov/about/boards-and-councils/board-natural-resources/committee-geographic-names.

Proposals approved by the Committee on Geographic Names go to the Board of Natural Resources for final approval, and are then submitted to the United States Board on Geographic Names.

Anyone who wishes to comment on the proposal can email bogn@dnr.wa.gov or send a letter to the Washington State Committee on Geographic Names, P.O. Box 47030, Olympia, WA 98504. All comments are public record.
