Senator Patty Kuderer, Democrat
This is outdated. Patty Kuderer is no longer the 48th District senator; she became Washington insurance commissioner in January 2025, and the current 48th District senator is Vandana Slatter.
Full reasoning
Official Washington state sources show this is no longer correct. The Washington Legislature's current rosters for the 69th Legislature (2025–2026) list Vandana Slatter as the senator for the 48th Legislative District. Separately, the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner states that Patty Kuderer was sworn in as Washington's insurance commissioner on January 15, 2025, and describes her as a former state Senator who represented the 48th District in the Senate from 2017–2024.
So the post's claim that Patty Kuderer is the current 48th District senator is outdated and incorrect.

Representative Joan McBride, Democrat
This is outdated. Joan McBride is not one of the current House members for the 48th District; the current representatives are Osman Salahuddin and Amy Walen.
Full reasoning
The Washington Legislature's official rosters for the 69th Legislature (2025–2026) list the 48th Legislative District members as Sen. Vandana Slatter, Rep. Osman Salahuddin (Position 1), and Rep. Amy Walen (Position 2).
Because Joan McBride does not appear as either of the district's current House members in the official roster, the post's statement that she is a current representative for the 48th District is outdated and incorrect.

Hunts Point was incorporated as a city on August 22, 1955.
The municipal type is wrong. Official Hunts Point sources say it incorporated as a fourth-class town, not as a city.
Full reasoning
The sentence is inaccurate because it says Hunts Point was incorporated as a city. Hunts Point's own official history page says the community "was incorporated as a Fourth Class Town" in 1955. The town's current comprehensive plan says the same thing, stating that in August 1955 Hunts Point was officially incorporated as a Fourth Class Town of the State.
There appears to be some variation in secondary sources about the exact August 1955 date, but the official town sources consistently identify the municipality as a town, not a city. That makes the sentence incorrect as written.

In response to signed petitions, Hunts Point was incorporated as a Fourth Class Town on August 26, 1955.

In August, 1955, Hunts Point was officially incorporated as a Fourth Class Town of the State.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.30 square miles (0.78 km2), of which, 0.29 square miles (0.75 km2) is land and 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2) is water.
These area figures are outdated. Current Census geography data shows Hunts Point is about 0.75 square miles total, with about 0.31 square miles of land and 0.44 square miles of water.
Full reasoning
This geography statement does not match current U.S. Census data for Hunts Point. In the Census Bureau's 2020 incorporated-places file for Washington, the row for Hunts Point town lists AREALAND = 794,716 square meters and AREAWATER = 1,148,851 square meters. Converted to square miles, that is about 0.31 sq mi of land and 0.44 sq mi of water, for a total of about 0.75 sq mi.
The Town of Hunts Point's current comprehensive plan is consistent with the land-area part of that correction: it says the town's land area increased slightly and is now roughly 205 acres, which is about 0.32 sq mi, not 0.29. So the article's 0.30 / 0.29 / 0.01 figures are outdated and incorrect.

Although the Town’s land area increased slightly as a result of the new State Route 520 lid, it has otherwise remained constant at roughly 205 acres.
