Should update this quiz with Jeff Bezos as the Worlds Richest Man or change the clue to founder of Microsoft.

Took me ages to figure out the specific answer to geoduck; the others were straightforward after living in Tacoma for better part of a decade...

Sure, and with "Family Guy" now everyone knows how to pronounce "quahog" too.

I tried "animal" and a whole bunch of more specific types; then settled on Evergreen State student (too bad there's no football team - I'd love to see the helmet logo); then gave up.

Bill Gates isn’t the richest man in the world anymore. It’s Jeff Bezos.

Shouldn't just "clam" be acceptable? You have to type in the whole phrase "a type of clam" to get the answer.

The cryptid that goes by the names Bigfoot/Sasquatch and the cryptid that goes by the name Yeti/"Abominable Snowman" are different creatures.

You should add "Tahoma" as a type in for Mount Rainier. It's the original name for the mountain and I know many people who prefer to use it. Sort of like Denali vs Mt McKinley (although admittedly fewer people use Tahoma).

Fun Fact: Peter Rainier, the British naval officer who the mountain is named after never visited the American west coast, let alone the site of Mt Tahoma

That's really not uncommon. The first 2 US Presidents never visited the area either, yet the state and Mount Adams are named after them.

The Rockies do run through the northeastern part of the state, but it's a relatively small area compared to the Olympics and Cascades

The building - which is located in Everett - has an owner, name that owner (which happens to be a company)
