Talk:List of municipalities in Washington

message: What good is accomplished by the existence of the List of cities in Washington (by population) when this page already lists populations, and in a sortable table? I had previously redirected the page to this one (as all of its information can already be found here, a merge is unnecessary), but it has been recreated. — The Man in Question (gesprec) · (forðung) 22:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: List of cities in Washington (by population)

message: Rainier is a code city, according to the Municipal Reserarch and Services Center and the lady answering the phone at the city. I'm unable to find this documented online though. There was a referendum in 2000 on becoming a code city, which apparantly lost.

replies: text: I have been researching this for days, looking for official confirmation of the status of Rainier, Washington as a city, and everything I have found confirms this to be the case. Like you, I found the MRSC site, which the [state website uses to catalog info about cities and towns. I too called the office and was informed that it is City of Rainier, and this was also confirmed on the [official webpage]. While the 2000 Census gives Rainier as a town, the change to a "code city" apparently happened soon after. The status of "City of Rainier" is also confirmed by numerous official state documents, like reports from the State Auditor's Office, the Office of Financial Management, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Ecology, etc., and any number of documents on the Thurston County website. To this end, I am removing Rainier, Washington from List of towns in Washington and adding it to List of cities in Washington]]. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:16, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) generally appears to have the most up-to-date listing of cities and towns in the state. The following places are listed as cities there but not by the 2010 U.S. Census:
# Mattawa, Washington
# Millwood, Washington
# Ruston, Washington
# Tieton, Washington
They all must've become cities relatively recently (within the past few years). —Mrwojo (talk) 04:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi, Updating and click to http://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2014/SUB-EST2014-3.html . New 2014 EStimate. You can edit and thank you. --Rossdegenstein (talk) 01:36, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  2014 Estimate 

message: I would think it would be informative and sensible to include a column in this list showing whether each city is a first-class city, a second-class city, a code city, or, in the case of Mattawa, an outlier. The information at this page is suggestive but inadequate/incomplete. --Haruo (talk) 16:56, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This list from the Municipal Research and Services Center has code/class lists as well as incorporation years. I'll work on integrating both into the list over the next few days. SounderBruce 01:28, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

text: City classes have been added. I think I might take on this list and transform it into something FLC-worthy in a way similar to List of cities and towns in Alabama (maybe merging the towns list as well). SounderBruce 22:42, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, SounderBruce! I think merging the towns list makes very good sense. I'll only be working on this topic, to any great extent, in eowiki, but I will indeed work on it there with the goal of integrating the various kinds of urboj and urbetoj into a single list that shows which class they are. I might even add in the CDPs, neighborhoods, and other inhabited-place toponyms. --Haruo (talk) 14:03, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Merging CDPs and other unincorporated entities might be a bit too much. Towns at least are defined under the Revised Code of Washington alongside cities, and there's precedence with other state lists. SounderBruce 22:40, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

text: This struck me as irrelevant minutia that detracted from the article, almost to the point where I deleted it. What value do you see in having this information here? It seems of no interest to anyone, save perhaps a lawyer who specializes in such details. 130.44.142.234 (talk) 11:48, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Class (or code)? 

message: Rankings in the city images captions do not match the table. For instance Everett is seventh in the 2019 estimates, not  sixth.  I wonder if including the rank in the caption is more trouble than it is worth, given probably annual changes in the list. - Bri.public (talk) 21:58, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the rankings are based on the census data? We really shouldn't be including 2019 estimates anyway, and stick with census counts. New one coming in a few months! Mattximus (talk) 22:04, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image captions don't match table 

message: I agree with SounderBruce but for another reason: when updating from the census, the municipalities are listed alphabetically, and so updating this list becomes a headache if listed by population. Also, their original reasoning, that it can be sorted with a click, is also reason enough not to rearrange. On a side note, it would be great to merge the two tables into one to make the sorting more comprehensive. Mattximus (talk) 01:37, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
