"It's about branding consistency" stated a county representative.
Some companies and consumers had become confused as to where Washington County was, due to the fact that there are multiple Washington Counties across the country, and many local residents pronounce the county name as "Warshington".
Now Wasrshington County can stand out among the other counties, with very little effort required in the rebranding effort.
"After all, many local residents say the name with an R in it anyway, so why not help be consistent."
The name change prompted applause from our county's neighbors to the east. "Fredrick County applauds Warshington County in following suit with our recent name modernization. Many of our residents pronounce our county without the extra E in Frederick, so it only makes sense for Warshington County to make a similar change."
