Define "been to"? Does passing through in a train count? How about a car? Or do you have to set foot on them?

ten years pass...

I learned about something very cool from Wikipedia today:

The county was originally named after William Rufus King who was Vice-President when the Washington Territory was created. In 1986, a motion was introduced to change the namesake to Martin Luther King, Jr.[3] No public votes or hearings were taken on the change.[4]

On February 24, 1986, the King County Council passed Council Motion 6461 five votes to four setting forth the historical basis for the renaming of King County in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.[5] Because only the state can charter counties, this change was not made official until April 19, 2005, when the Governor signed Senate Bill 5332 into law.

The County Council submitted a vote to the public on February 27, 2006 to change the county's logo from a royal crown to an image of King.[6] On March 12, 2007, the new logo was unveiled.[7]

Martin Luther King Jr. visited King County for two days in November 1961.

Anyhow, I didn't realize you could just rename an area after someone with the same name. Maybe all the Lee Counties we've got down here can be renamed after Harper Lee or Spike Lee or Peggy Lee.

Probably gotta fit this one in somewhere too.
