Tahoma is more commonly known by the coloniser name of Mount Rainier.

Tahoma is the origination of the name from the Puyallup with variants Tacobet, Takhomat.
Puyallup can be pronounced Pü-al-up, or Pooey-loop; depending on if you live there or go to a rival school

Oh is Puyallup the name of a group? I’ve seen it on maps and always wondered about it because it looks soooo much like an indigenous australian place name from the southwest of Western Australia.
The ‘up’ suffix is a common place marker in some Noongar dialects, so it’s very common in town, suburb or neighbourhood names. The rest of the word fits so well as well. For example there’s a Mullyalup, which is pretty dang close.

Neat! Puyallup tribe, yup. Now home to the Western Washington Fair, the largest state fair on the west coast!
Fun fact: it was built on the site where we housed the Japanese US citizens in WWII internment camps, even though they were US citizens.
…maybe not so much a fun fact

Tribe, got it! And it looks like they’re Salishan speakers - that’s an incredibly interesting language family.

The PNW had a very rich tribal history

Unfortunately (fortunately??) the city quit being smelly long before I moved here. My roommate who has lived here since the 90s remembers it though!

Great shot. I think it’s so cool that people are using telephoto lenses on phones. What a time to be alive.
Thank you! The telephoto lens (and camera in general) is like, 90% of why I bought this phone.
