In an effort to standardize Place Names, Washington uses the following list of Common names.  Please note the appropriate category name, as well as the listed spelling.  This is necessary for the proper display of any advertising associated with the site (i.e. SUBWAY discounts)
 
Washington follows the USA standard for [[Places]]. Do not deviate from the guidelines without first obtaining consensus to do so via the state [[Washington#Community|State forum]] linked on this page.
We strongly encourage the use of [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=164962 WME Place Harmonization (WMEPH)] to standardize place names and maximize completion of places in Washington State.
Do not inappropriately use [[External sources|external sources]] to complete places! Use the place's official website or personal observations at the location to complete fields

  <li>At least one of the following:
      <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
          <li>The water would be helpful to navigation (e.g. to orient drivers)</li>
