Living in Vancouver

Vancouver is a city on the north bank of the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington and the county seat of Clark County. According to the Washington State Office of Financial Management's April 1, 2008 estimate, the city has a population of 162,400,[4] making it the fourth largest city in the state. It is part of the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area,which is the 23rd largest metropolitan area in the United States with over 2 million residents.

The larger city of Vancouver, British Columbia is located 305 miles (491 km) north of Vancouver, Washington. Both cities were named for sea captain George Vancouver, but the Canadian city was not incorporated until 1886, nearly thirty years after Vancouver, Washington, and more than sixty years after the name Fort Vancouver was first used. City officials have periodically suggested changing the city's name to Fort Vancouver, Vancouver USA, or even Old Vancouver to reduce confusion with Vancouver, British Columbia. Many Pacific Northwest residents distinguish between the two cities by referring to the Canadian Vancouver as "Vancouver, B.C" and the American one as Vancouver, Washington. Current mayor Royce Pollard is an advocate of the unofficial moniker
