Hell, even if we can’t pull off getting the state renamed to Cascadia or something Duwamish it could be renamed to fucking Lincoln, it’s an acceptable compromise to fall back to.
And yeah I’d prefer renaming DC away from being named after a slaver (and another slaver), but I see that as way less feasible than renaming the capital of Ohio (Columbus, many of the locals don’t like the name).
The naming of WA was one of the most obviously stupid and easily preventable decisions this country has made. It was very close to being named Columbia after the river, which while also part of the name of the capital and close to the name of a country is at least distinct
DC needs to be The Douglas Commonwealth and Washington State needs to either be Cascadia or some Duwamish name

I say remerge Oregon and Washington together again, there’s no real reason why the western portions of the Oregon territory were broken up.
The people of the town of George would be very upset if you renamed the state.
