Favorite East Coast Inlet named after a West Coast state?

[taterguy]

I vote for Oregon Inlet which separates Hatteras Island and Bodie Island, which is actually a peninsula, and if the inlet wasn't there Bodie Island/Peninsula would actually be an isthmus.

So anyway, what's your favorite East Coast inlet named after a West Coast state?

I value your input.

1. Oregon thanks you...

I was born in New Bern, near the Pamlico Sound but now live on the coast of Oregon.
We do have a Tarheel Lane in town.

2. You're welcome

6. My hubby's from Winston Salem, and we met in Durham.

I've spent many a happy summer day on the Outer Banks. And now I live in Seattle.

7. I'll take that as another vote for Oregon Inlet. It's a landslide!

Suck it California Inlet.

3. Not West coast and not an inlet but there is a Green Bay Virginia

4. And you're pointing that out in this thread why?

5. Because I find it interesting

and the subject line made me think of it

8. Oregon Inlet came to mind right away.

9. What I like is how New York named its capital after a Oregon

city....

[KamaAina]

10. It did no such thing

NY State's capital is named after the town immediately north of Berkeley. :P

[whistler162]

13. Nah... England named a Duchy for the town in California

while New York named it for the town in Oregon.

[Gormy Cuss]

14. And those New Yorkers mispronounce it!

It's AL-bany, not ALL-bany.
:P

11. I was told there would be no geography questions.

12. Someone lied to you

15. Dammit!

16. Dogfish Head

Named after Washington State, and the appearance of many of its residents.

now a fine Delaware microbrewery with great beers.

Actually a peninsula and not an inlet on an island off the coast of Maine.

[taterguy]

17. Dogfish ain't no state I've ever heard of and like you said: It's not an inlet

Let me guess:

Reading comprehension wasn't your best subject in school.

[kwassa]

18. But it is a very good beer. What else matters?

The peninsula simply took its name from the appearance of native Washingtonians.

Or so I've heard.
