I removed the reference the IBM still had offices in the old Sequant building, IBM has since moved, and Nike has taken over the old IBM buildings. I worked at IBM when it moved, and I work at Nike now (in the same building actually) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.39.185.158 (talk) 04:54, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Stronghold
[edit]"Washington county has been a stronghold of the Republican Party, who have consistently registered a majority of voters as members ever since its creation, despite Washington County's evolution from a farming economy to a suburb of Portland." The above statement is POV and needs to be re-worked if it is to be included. The term stronghold is a value judgement that does not fit in with WP:NPOV, and honestly really is not that correct. As a long time Republican registered and voting many times in elections in the county (not in three years now) I know that GOP registered voters did outnumber Dems in 1994 when I covered the primary for a civics project. But it was a small majority. Further, the fact that Dems keep representing the County in Congress (Wu the Klingon man to Furse to Aucoin) would tend to disprove any stronghold (and yes, I know WaCo is not the only county in the 1st district). So if you want some sort of GOP v. Dems thing, make a section Political Affiliations, and make some charts with sourced numbers, and just the facts, no POV. Aboutmovies 05:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
