Extinct Town
editGettysburg, Washington Needs sourcing to establish it's notability.
- I think this one is notable based on evaluation of the sources cited. Recommend keep. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 15:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I see it now. None of that on it's own establishes notability, as technically the newspaper article is the only reliable source. I will move it to extinct town, and note it needs sources added.James.folsom (talk) 22:47, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Trading post
editMora, Washington Prod June 2024: There is nothing at the site in google maps, aside from Mora road. But since this is a post office it would have been a stop along a "road" that would be the postal route the mail carrier travelled on. The simplest answer for its existence is that it was the road to the post office.The third source on this article states this is just a post office [1] pg 172. Washington State place names doesn't list it separately and is just a repeat of Meany in source 3 above [page 92]. The other sources on the article are not useful for verification a town existed. It's only mentioned twice in passing with no indication it wasn't just a post office in the 2003 history book about the county Clallam [2]. The post office is likely the trading post mentioned in that book. It's worth noting here that trading posts usually were not in populated areas, but at strategic places along well traveled trade routes. So this is actually and indicator this is just a post office. In fact, this source [3] unequivocally makes it clear this was a trading post, it must have also housed the post office, before it moved. It appears on this 1970 map [4] but when compared with google maps (at similar scale) you can see that there couldn't be any streets there, or anything. And Finally, we have this a description of the "town". [5]. As you can see it's just a Guy running a hotel trading post in the woods.
Some passing mentions that don't contradict the possibility it's a post office. [6]
