Where does it say CA employees? Does Bay Area in the context of Puget Sound mean SF Bay Area?
- samcheng 7y agoYes; when you say "Bay Area" in Washington and Oregon, you generally mean SF Bay Area. Maybe an exception for those living in Coos Bay?
- c-bayprogrammer 7y agoYes, those of us in Coos Bay and the nearby region refer to this tiny little area as the "Bay Area". Growing up, I didn't realize SF was the "real" Bay Area. ;)
- evil-olive 7y agoYes. No one in Seattle would call here the "Bay Area". We do have Elliot Bay [0] but not an "Elliot Bay Area" - Seattle and its environs are referred to as the Puget Sound [1] region. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies_of_water_of_Seattle#/media/File:Seattle_waterways_-_1990s.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies_of_water_of_Seattle#/me... 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puget_Sound#/media/File:Map_pugetsound.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puget_Sound#/media/File:Map_pu...
- stygiansonic 7y agoThanks for the explanations everyone. I was confused because the title at [0] says "Kurt DelBene’s March 4 guidance to King County employees", but Bay Area is only mentioned in one of the headings. Thanks for the clarifications. 0. https://news.microsoft.com/2020/03/04/kurt-delbenes-march-4-guidance-to-king-county-employees/ https://news.microsoft.com/2020/03/04/kurt-delbenes-march-4-...
- warmfuzzykitten 7y agoHard to see how any part of the SF Bay Area could be in King County.
