Oakesdale has yet to put a famous person on the list

In Washington, 210 towns have someone on the list. Yakima has the most of any town in Washington: 65. After Yakima, the next longest list in Washington is Bellingham’s, with 53.

Who’s listed here

Famous people come from Wikidata (people whose birthplace is Oakesdale), checked against each person’s English Wikipedia article and ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover them. Nobody born in Oakesdale has passed that check yet, and nobody born within 35 miles is listed.
