Before I reveal the name of the funniest town in Washington, I wanted to share a city name that I think is wacky, or perhaps I should I just say that it's fun to say. No, I'm not talking about the city of Big Bottom, I'm talking about Humptulips. (Now why is that so funny? Am I that childish today? The answer is yes!)

Okay, here we go: the funniest city, town, or neighborhood name in Washington is...Minnehaha!

There are two notable Minnehahas hidden inside Washington state, including the park in Spokane and the town that is lumped inside Vancouver.

The Minnehaha town that's considered a part of Vancouver is contained by the borders of U.S. Route 500, NE St. John's Rd, NE Minnehaha St, and NE Andresen Rd.

FUN FACT: The Minnehaha Park in Spokane was a filming location site for the silent Western movie made during the 1920s, The Grub-Stake.

Locals near the Minnehaha Park in Spokane like to play in its horseshoe pits baseball diamond, and tennis court.
