Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

The maps on Wikipedia for Pierce County (or any western wa cities that I've seen, for that matter) don't display Pierce and Thurston Counties correctly. In fact, this entry for Pierce County prominently highlights a political boundary that does not exist.

It's because the southern reaches of Puget Sound are missing. The boundaries are fine--but water is missing. --Lukobe 05:11, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charter Amendment One (Pierce County, 2008)[edit]

Some enterprising soul has written a lengthy article on this local government ordinance. It doesn't pass notability in its own right, but the contents deserve to be preserved here. Hence I've merge tagged it. Perhaps someone with local knowledge or interest could rectify the situation. Please contact me if I can be of any assistance.

The voter initiative actually amended the county charter, not an ordinance. Pierce county is one of three major counties in the Seattle Metro area. It is definitely noteworthy enough to keep. The article was categorized as a PAC. I removed that classification. kgrr ^talk 08:32, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
