Named for George Washington—the first U.S. president—the state was formed from the western part of the Washington Territory, which was ceded by the British Empire in 1846, in accordance with the Oregon Treaty in the settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. The state, which is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, Oregon to the south, Idaho to the east, and the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north—was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. Olympia is the state capital; the state's largest city is Seattle. Washington is often referred to as Washington state to distinguish it from the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. 1700 File:Seal of Washington.svg washington state 7615000 PST State 2022-04-19T22:54:14Z 2459689.4543287 Washington State 0 1 plainlist 3 [[Category:Activity]] [[In municipality::Washington State]] Washington State# QUERY208315ea7c369947d39c054a894d4c7b 0 1 plainlist 3 [[Category:News]] [[From location::washington state]] Washington State# QUERY38ca8d5beb8e5b5028c5c7a8fe1c7ce4 0 1 plainlist 3 [[Category:Webinar]] [[Has team members::Washington State]] Washington State# QUERYeabfdce929d81b9c552d21eabf72e42d 0 1 plainlist 3 [[Category:Person]] [[From location::washington state]] Washington State# QUERYcedba0cc99aafb75656c3aaa3c3972cd
