City Visited #:   426
County:   Stevens
Visited With:   Michelle & Tacoma Jenn
City Name History:   Initially the site of a Presbyterian mission on the Spokane Indian Reservation, the community's name source is undetermined. An unsubstantiated local belief suggests that the name is an adaptation of a Native-American term referring to "two small creeks in a valley."
Comments:   I'm ducking a bit because it was raining very hard.
