[edit] Vancouver-Seattle

I've lived in Pierce County, Washington my entire life, and have never heard my area referred to as "Seattle-Vancouver". Wouldn't this classification exist for any pair of cities? What restrictions would there be on geographic distance? Seattle-Portland? Seattle-Spokane? Seattle-San Francisco? Seattle-Tokyo? If this refers to some census-related determination, perhaps it should continue to exist, but the article makes no reference to any such designation. Travisl 17:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

(Note for future: if this page should continue to exist, add redirect from Seattle-Vancouver Travisl 17:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - As far as I can telll no one actually uses the term. Artw 17:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Someone de-prodded it stating that it's a real place, but provided no references. I've lived in Seattle for 15 years, and can't say that I've heard the area referred to as a single entity (beyond "Pacific Northwest"). The driving distance between the cities is about 120 miles, which is much further than other city pairs (like Minneapolis-Saint Paul, or Dallas-Fort Worth). I don't know of any shared infrastructure (like Hartford-Springfield Airport). -- Mikeblas 18:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - bizarre, there are several small regions with distinctive identities within this. The Tulip farms are not the Lummi Indian reservation are not Bellingham.

• Delete. Not a term used north of the border, either. Agent 86 18:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. "Seattle-Tacoma" would be a legitimate redirect to Federal Way, WashingtonSeaTac, Washington or Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, but this is not a term that is in common use. Yamaguchi先生 09:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
