→Federal Way: Smaller City: my rationale for Tri-Cities as a city |
|||
Line 16:
You two are wrong, Federal Way is the 7th largest city in Washington. Kent is the 8th. Federal Way SHOULD be put up as a larger city since there are seven slots and Federal Way is the 7th largest city. And "Tri-Cities" isn't actually a city itself, it's a region that consists of several smaller independent cities including Kenniwick, Pasco, and Richland. You really should look up what a twin city is, although it is commonly looked at as a whole they are actually separate but due to being close to each other they "grow into" each other. But the reality is that they can be demographically, economically, and politically independent. This is because they are still separate cities, even if they have been twinned. It's called Tri-Cities because the identity of these cities have been blurred due to the close proximity and intertwined nature. That's why it's called Tri-Cities instead of Tri-City. So Federal Way should be considered a larger city and the Tri-Cities should be taken off as a city because it isn't actually a real city, it's a region, and we already have it listed as a region.

:You're right, the Tri-Cities is technically a "metropolitan area." But we don't have a line for metro areas on this template. Given the categories we have to work with, the Tri-Cities is more of a "city" than it is a "region." In terms of its economic, social, and cultural importance in Washington, it's considered a city, although legally it is not. It should be on the list of major cities.
