I think there is also a national forest in that area near the park as well. The Olympic moniker is common in western Washington. There's the Olympic peninsula, Olympic Rainforest, Mount Olympus, Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle and the Washington state capital is Olympia.

Good. Settled. The US is a scientific powerhouse, and it refines both inventions made by Europeans and Americans. And we all benefit from it.

My small country invented the modern platform for the mobile phone, created the GSM-mobile network, also a large chunk of the 4G and 5G networks. We created also the SMS and the Linux OS, and the AIV fodder injection to make the fodder of cattle more resistant and prevent all kind of agricultural diseases.

We're small, you're big. All we Western Countries go hand in hand. But we did apply some revolutionary inventions and ideas:

Finland is the #1 who implemented universal suffrage in Europe.

Ariete i appreciate you love boating your country like i do, but saying crazy things like we americans are pathetic cause we have less gold medals per capita is crazy considering we have won a lot of gold medals, a ton of more medals than Finland. Also you say nobody cares about our sports in America but nobody really cares abut your country Finland...

My aim is not to play down the achievements USA have made, you've contributed a lot to modern society, and I could be jealous about it.
who discovered the moon?
