A replica of the Chief Factor's residence (Hudson's Bay Co.), Fort Vancouver, Washington.

John McLoughlin, a British subject who later became an American citizen and served as one of the most important figures in aiding U.S. settlement in the disputed Pacific Northwest (an area claimed by Russia, Spain, Britain, and the United States), was the first resident.

I agree with the idea of renaming Thurston County, Washington after Dr. McLoughlin.
