Washington (IPA: /ˈwɑ.ʃɪŋ.tən/) is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States of America. The state is named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. It is the only U.S. state named after a U.S. citizen.

Washington was carved out of the western part of Washington Territory and admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. In 2006, the Census Bureau estimated the state’s population at 6,395,798. Residents are called “Washingtonians” (emphasis on the third syllable, pronounced as tone).

The other day, my eight-year-old came into the house with blood dripping from his knee. He had been riding his pedal bike and towing his older sister on her bike. When the bikes collided, he had skinned his knee.

Using the first aid kit, I cleaned, creamed and bandaged the wound. While my son recovered, I filled out the accident report book included with each first aid kit. As usual, I read some of the other entries made over the years. By far, bike accidents out numbered the other cut and scrape accidents, and this boy had more accidents than his two siblings. for more click here
