Creeks Near Leavenworth May Finally Get a Name

The Washington State Committee on Geographic Names recently approved five naming proposals and among the proposals were proposed names for two unnamed creeks about 20 miles from Leavenworth. Nason Bach and Wald Bach were the proposed options to name the creeks due to inspiration stemming from the well known German culture encompassed in Leavenworth. Names approved by this committee are passed onto the Board of Natural Resources for final decision. Names approved by that board are then published in the Washington Administrative Code and forwarded to United States Board on Geographic Names for federal consideration.
