Commentary/Evan Smith: Happy Admission Day


By Evan Smith

November 11 is Admission Day, commemorating the day in 1889, 125 years ago, when Washington territory became Washington state.

Of course, it is also Veterans’ Day, formerly known as Armistice Day to mark the end of fighting in World War I, a holiday whose name was changed because the peace was interrupted by more wars.

    Without our veterans, there would be no Washington State. A happy admission, that.
