Want something to be extra fucked with? There’s a Tahoma neighborhood in Washington DC. It’s named after Mt Rainier. It was named by a bunch of Jesus freaks that thought they were as close to heaven as the peak of Mt Rainier. It was the site of their HQ.
So yeah, there’s a Tahoma, Washington, DC.

Though to be fair Rainier never actually visited the PNW, it was named by Vancouver who had a bromance for him
Wiki: The current name was given by George Vancouver, who named it in honor of his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier.

Rainier never even visited North America. Cap’n Vancouver just wanted to kiss his bosses’ asses so he named everything after them. Hence, “Cape Flattery.”
