The Towns That Are “Booming” in WA and ORE Share the Same Name
What Are The Two Fastest Growing Towns In Washington And Oregon?
Two towns in Washington State and Oregon are the two biggest boomtowns in 2023 and ironically they share the same name.
Two "Boomtowns" In Oregon And Washington Share The Same Name
Go Banking Rates recently did a survey nationwide on the fastest-growing cities in America and two towns that are exploding with growth are two towns in Washington and Oregon that share the same name.

That means towns and cities like Seattle and Portland aren't boomtowns because Seattle Oregon and Portland Washington are fictitious places even though they sound like cool places to visit.
So what towns in Washington and Oregon share the same name and are booming?
The honor goes to both Redmond Oregon and Redmond Washington. I feel like deja vu with Superman and Batman having the same mother's name in Superman V. Batman.
How much have these two towns grown?
Take a look:
