[edit] Second city
Is there any source for the second city designation? I find it really hard to believe. --Rschen7754 03:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
I once asked a lady at the Clallam County Historical Society about it, this was what I was told: President Lincoln established Port Angeles and Ediz Hook as military reservations in 1862. Thus making it the second town founded by the federal government after Washington, D.C. President Lincoln was on record calling it the "second national city," but it appears undocumented if this means it would become the U.S. capitol if D.C. fell to the Confederates. Locals have grasped on to the designation as a source of pride, however. In actuality, if there was any plans for a second capitol they were likely trashed when the military reservations closed in 1891. --ColdCaffeine 17:53, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- In that case, I think the entry should be rewritten so as not to imply it's actual fact that Port Angeles is the backup national capital. --Lukobe 04:47, 3 October 2005 (UTC) (just drove through P.A. today on my way home to Seattle from Forks!)

I removed the copyedit tag, but I believe that using the census data and talking about it past-tense is a bit odd.
[edit] Really?
The second par leads with the stunning revelation that Port Angeles was the birthplace of a footballer!! Despair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.56.38 (talk) 08:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
