Spokane marked in wrong location

The city of Spokane is placed practically on the Canadian border in this diagram. Spokane is actually farther south and received over an inch of ash where I lived at the time. Memetics (talk) 05:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Seconded, though I don't agree with the statement "practically on the Canadian border." I'm just picky. In reality, though, this map places Spokane in southern Pend Oreille County, which is definitely not where it is...

I'm questioning the accuracy of this map in general; we also got over an inch here, but here in northern Ferry County (where the map says we would have gotten minimal amounts).  — TORTOISEWRATH 00:23, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Ageee Yakima is marked in the location of the Tri Cities. Ths needs to be evaluated for accuracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.5.108.139 (talk) 18:04, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Canada not included

Can Canada be included in the next version? Is there data available? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mchaddock (talk • contribs) 02:19, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Unless the ash hadn't a valid passport for Canada, the same problem occurs for File:Mt st helens cendres.png.

I was in Ellensburg and we got a lot. My family members claim to have measured 6", and that was downtown. My Yakima relatives all claim 3"+. There is still 6" of ash in the ditches around there. According to the map there was only a trace to 1/2" in Yakima. Except, they have Yakima as a suburb of Walla Walla. Definitely a low quality map. Probably even lower quality than my anecdotal numbers.2001:470:1F04:3DF:0:0:0:2 (talk) 04:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
