John Frank Stevens discovered Stevens Pass? When, in the 1890s? That's hard to believe. Didn't Isaac Stevens send railroad survey crews through the pass in the 1850s? Isn't the pass named for Isaac Stevens? Sources for this information? Pfly 18:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I found this information in the book Puget's Sound; it seems true. Pfly 05:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
