List of Cities?

edit

The article about the area code 425 has a list of cities who use it, but 360 doesn't. Thanks, from a miscellaneous IP address.

Is it worth mentioning that 360 is (and apparently always has been) split into disjoint pieces by 206/253/425? Many maps don't show that detail clearly. —Tamfang (talk) 08:09, 22 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia used to have nice maps. I am very sad about the present situation. The map in this article is pitiful to the point of less-than-useless. Sadsaque (talk) 17:14, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Contiguous or not

edit

A quibble but the area is only non-contiguous across land. The county boundaries touch in Puget Sound so, technically, Snohomish is contiguous with Kitsap, and with Island, so there is continuity. - Brianhe (talk) 05:45, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

I guess that depends on your definition of "contiguous". Per Contiguity#Geography, "Political or geographical land divisions that, as a group, are not interrupted by other land or water are contiguous." What definition are you using? - BilCat (talk) 06:02, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Snohomish County is not interrupted by water from Kitsap County because Puget Sound is approximately half in one county and half in the other. In other words, there is no water separating the two counties except that which is in one county or the other. There is no other land or water thus no interruption. - Brianhe (talk) 06:10, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I think the point of the comment is that the land doesn't touch directly. But if it's that much of an issue to you, then remove it as an unsourced claim/original research. Trying to clarify it to include the land part would only open it up for another semantic quibble yet to be thought of. - BilCat (talk) 06:30, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Well, I gave it a try. Quibbles are what we are all about :) - Brianhe (talk) 22:34, 30 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I'll let you handle the next quibble that comes up regarding this. Hopefully, it'll seem silly to you, but of life or death importance to that quibbler. :) - BilCat (talk) 22:38, 30 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
