Residents of Vancouver, Washington go to the polls tomorrow and the outcome of the election could change the city -- or at least its name -- forever.

A slate of candidates is poised to form a majority on council and one platforms calls for a new name for the city in the extreme southwestern corner of the state.

Supporters want to switch to Fort Vancouver -- arguing it's the only way to avoid confusion with Vancouver, B.C.

Opponents of the plan -- including the current mayor -- say there are no other Vancouvers in the United States.

guess the current mayor doesn't get it?

Port would be better than Fort!

Changing Vancouver's name would be a shame. It's always been nice to know we have a sister city. Instead of changing, why not twin with Vancouver B.C., and emphasize the relationship between the two cities, rather than the differences.
