Oh Yeah, somebody mentioned Sedro Wooley earlier. Around the turn of the century, it used to be called "Bug." I guess the Chamber of Commerce decided that wasn't going to draw people, so they changed it.

Halfway, OR

I've been there, I wondered "halfway to where?" The answer is probably nowhere, since that's about what you're in the middle of. Although it is close to the Wallowas, so it's got that going for it.

[wotan_of_ballard]

besides being middle of no where, Halfway OR is at exactly 45.00 degrees N latitude halfway between the pole and equator.
